Awful news. Condolences to his family & friends. Never met him, but was well aware of his passion for the club from CL posts and tales from friends. Sorry I never got the chance to meet him. The Incredible amount of posts on CL, Twitter and club FB page, shows what he meant to us. I hope his family can take some comfort from this. Stay safe fellow Addicks.
Football uses the term legend far to frequently. A club has lots of heroes and just a very very few legends. Not many clubs will have “just” a supporter that actually becomes a club legend. I think Charlton Athletic are a unique club in lots of ways and it’s perhaps apt that they had a unique supporter. Seb you are part of the history of the football club as legend and hero. A small band indeed.
Someone on Twitter suggested having his flag up in the Covered End permanently. I think that's a lovely idea. I'm sure the museum will also remember him, as we all will.
The museum already has his old flag up.
We've also been able to make a last minute change to another museum project to include a small tribute to Seb
Such desperately sad news that will touch every corner of the Addicks family, Seb was part of the Charlton furniture, as others have said, an ever present no matter how 'many miles have you travelled'.
I last saw his famous worm coming out of the Hawthorns earlier this season and well remember the one on the embankment leaving Carlisle after promotion.
One true memory was from an early St Truiden trip for the Stayen Cup, to retrieve his flag he had to walk through @Henry Irvings bedroom, the following morning as were leaving to check out, he was waiting patiently in the corridor, he didnt want to knock and disturb Ben.
His flag flies proudly in the museum and I am sure will stay there, a true Charlton legend.
Stayed off the site all day for once and logged back to this news. Although I never met him, his name was LEGEND! Truly sad to hear this news, and no age either. RIP Seb and thoughts go out ot his friends and family.
Apart from the obvious sadness, this virus is going to prevent "the Charlton family" from paying their tributes to him on his final journey.
Whilst funerals are exempt from some of the regulations, I believe that the numbers are restricted and to be honest no one is going to want to be in large gatherings.
Maybe someone can come up with a suitable tribute when things get closer than normal, that is more than a minutes clapping.

Indeed. A work colleague had his Dads funeral today and only his Mum, siblings and partners were allowed to attend.
I've heard the very sad news about the passing of Seb Lewis, someone I got to know through my time as a player and manager at #cafc. If anyone could say they were Charlton through and through, it was Seb. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Seb.
Like others on here I have never met him personally but seen him on plenty of occasions. A true legend at our great club who will be sadly missed. My thoughts go out to all of his family and close friends in what must be very difficult times.
RIP Seb. Only managed a nod to acknowledge a fellow Addick on the train home after a game last year. Wish I had extended that into a conversation.
Full of admiration for his devotion to supporting Charlton. A remarkable achievement that will surely be recognised by the club and fellow fans once things return to relative normality.

Another good one taken too early.
When all of this lockdown is over i hope he gets the send off he deserves- top bloke.
Seb, may you rest in peace.

Should be this be the wishes of the Lewis family.
There's a little bit of Seb in all of us Addicks I like to think.
Love & respect.

Seb would’ve been proud I’m sure
