He was a fun person always ready for a good laugh.From his Facebook page I could tell he adored the females in his life. I will miss him deeply
I remember Lawrence from his teenage days...him, Erica, and Moni hanging with our son Tavaris. I used to cook for them and he became like a son to us. To this day he called us Mom and Dad and said 'Where they at? I know they workin!' We will miss him and how he always told it exactly like it was on his mind. Love you forever, Lawrence.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lawrence with a mutual friend in 1998. He was always full of light and, just a pleasant person to share the room. A man who loved his family and his friends, and will greatly be missed. Arthur Teele, III

I meet Lawrence through some mutual friend's. I will miss him, he was such an amazing and beautiful person. He always made me laugh. My deepest condolences to the family.
I met Lawrence working in garden at Home Depot. He was the funniest, most positive person you could ever meet. I will miss his daily social media antics that made me belly laugh. He lifted me up so many times throughout the years I've known him, in some of my darkest times he gave me light. I Thank God to have been blessed to know him. My heart sincerely goes out to his family and all friends.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
