Reverend Lawrence Elliot Spann was born August 2, 1964 to the late Samuel Spann, Jr. and Eloise Covington Spann in Lancaster, SC. Samuel and Elosie surrounded him with love, and planted him in the soil of Mt. Zion AME Zion Church where the love of God and obedience to His word ordered his steps.

Sam and family,
My God grant each of you comfort, peace and encouragement today and the many tomorrows to come. Be Encouraged Psalm 121!
Wow, I was saddened when I learned of Lawrence's passing.
Spann/classmate/homeboy (as I affectionately called him) was a smart, cool and compassionate guy. Attending both Lancaster High School and The Ohio State University with Spann I bear witness that he was a scholar. I shall forever have fond memories of Pastor Rev Lawrence Spann.
Rest In Heavenly Peace Brother Spann, much love and "Well done thy good and faithful servant" Matthew 25:20-23
God bless,
