Lawrence Ward Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 28 to Oct. 30, 2022.
Lawrence Bryce Ward passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side. Bryce was a caring and sweet soul and a loving son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, nephew, and cousin. He was quick to always share a hug and an "I love you" whenever you saw him. His co-workers adored him. They said he had a unique way of making everyone feel like they were so special and made them laugh with his antics on the job. Just adorable as they put it. He had a very special love for animals and never had a day in his life without a pet.

Bryce chose to be an organ donor several years ago and he was very proud of that. Although he was given that opportunity way to soon, his youth enabled him to gift to several recipients who were waiting for a second chance of life. He is an angel and a hero to those who will receive their gift from Bryce, and he will always remain an angel to his family and those who loved him.

The family would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming caring and support. A very special thank you to the Mary view staff who cared for him and Life Net who walked the family through the process of what to expect, as he was preparing to donate his precious gifts. The family was deeply grateful for the way he was honored through his "Walk of Honor" event. It was emotional and an impressive way to demonstrate how rewarding giving something so personal and special can change the life of another human being. What better legacy could you have.

The family will host a private Celebration of Life for Bryce with all his extended family and closest friends.

We love you Bryce and you will stay in our hearts forever and ever.

Bryce, it's coming up on a year now that you left us. Not 1 single day goes by that you aren't thought of. What I would give just to see you and tell you how much you mean to me and our family. I'd give anything for that opportunity. I love you so very much, things have not been the same without you here.
