Gregory LAWRENCE Obituary

LAWRENCE, Gregory William It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Gregory on May 18, 2022, at age 56. He was very proud of his beloved children and led a full life, with a lifelong passion for learning and a deep desire to spread positivity. He attained many designations including his CMA, CFA, CPA and, more recently, an FEA (Family Enterprise Advisor). With a career in Capital Markets and Wealth Management in Toronto, he developed strong bonds and many diverse friendships with reciprocal support networks. He was a Board Director at Reconnect Community Health Services and a mentor and coach to anyone in need. Gregory loved snowboarding, karate, and scuba diving, taking these pursuits on with gusto. He was also a recreational pilot and a motorcycle enthusiast in earlier days. Gregory is survived by his cherished children, Spencer and Emily; along with his siblings, Sean, Kerrie, Devon and Danny; Aunt Sharon; Uncles, Gord and Bruce, and all their families. Predeceased by his Aunt Joan, and parents, Elaine and Jeff, he will rest with them and his Dixie family grandparents in Athens, Ontario, where he had wonderful memories of growing up. Private family service; a Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. Gregory will be missed by many people. May you rest peacefully. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CAMH.

Sad to understand that Greg has passed. My sincere thoughts to all his loved ones. We shared a house on Lauder Ave in the 90s. Fun memories of those early days will remain.

Very sad to hear of Gregory´s passing.
I saw him a few years ago - he always gave great advice. We talked about work and clients and his commitment to helping others - I admired his strength. Always ready to take on a challenge, he would strive with purpose to achieve his goals. He was charismatic, fun, and kind.

My sincere condolences to his family. We will miss him and cherish the memories. Rest peacefully Gregory.

I had the privilege of knowing Gregory for about 10 years. He never wavered from his path of human decency, heartfelt kindness and enlivening energy. Each conversation left me feeling better about the world. I always felt emboldened to go forward after he and I met.

He will be missed but remembered in all the ways that would have made him smile.
