#143 - Phil Lewis

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Phil Lewis, a retired police officer and current detective, to talk about life in law enforcement, grief, and healing after loss. They kick things off with lighthearted conversation about speeding tickets, favorite cop movies, and stories from Phil’s early career. The episode then shifts as Phil shares the story of his son Hunter, who passed away at age 15 after a car accident. He opens up about the hospital stay, the decision to remove life support, and the emotional weight that followed. Mason and Phil talk about what grief has looked like for them — the anger, the guilt, the support they’ve received, and how it's shaped their relationships and outlook on life. It’s an honest conversation between two dads who know what it’s like to carry heavy loss and still keep showing up.
