Gary Lamar Lawson
July 4, 1958 - February 19, 2015
On Thursday, February 19, 2015 in Houston, Texas the beloved husband of Terry and devoted father of Robert and Christopher entered into eternal rest. Gary was taken from us much to soon from the devastating disease of AML.
He is also survived by his parents Louis and Joyce Lawson, uncle Carlton and cousin Dennis (Rachida) Fisher, father-in-law Raymond Gray, brother-in-law Steve Gray, sisters-in-law Tammy (Billy) Salmon and Kim (Jimmy) Smith, and a host of other loving relatives and friends. He is preceded in death by his brother, Dwayne A. Lawson on October 11, 2008.
Memorial Donations can be made in memory of Gary to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at www.lls.org/waystohelp.
