Popular comedian Kennar Lewis has shared his heartbreaking story of losing his newborn son, who passed away shortly after birth due to complications. Lewis, who is known for his hilarious skits and videos on social media, took to Instagram to express his grief and pain over the tragic loss.
"They say there’s no greater pain than child birth, but I disagree. The greatest pain in the world is carrying and delivering a child that you never get to raise," he wrote. "I don’t just grieve my son, I mourn never getting the chance to hear him cry, to hear him speak, teach him to walk and see him grow."
He added, "Every new day reveals something that he will miss out on. You were perfect in every way. An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth, then whispered as he closed the book 'too beautiful for this earth'❤️🩹🕊️."

He had some complications and he left us too soon. He was my first child and I loved him so much. I'm sorry if I'm not myself tonight, but I'm doing this for him. He is my angel and he is watching over me. This show is for him," he said, fighting back tears.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation and chanted his name, showing their respect and admiration for the comedian. Lewis later posted a video of the emotional moment on his Instagram, saying that he was grateful for the support and that he would never forget that night.
