Daniel Lawlor Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He spent his days playing football and basketball for Saint John Vianney High School, Holmdel.
There have been many memories created on the Lawlor driveway of Park Lane. He took in any animal he could find, and some of his fondest childhood memories include his beloved dogs.
He then started his career and became a proud New York City Union Carpenter at Local No. 2287 and worked alongside his brothers and sisters at the Jacob Javits Center.
No matter where Dan went, a friend was made. He was the greatest storyteller, and these stories will continue to be told by all that loved him.
He was predeceased by his beloved parents, William and Barbara Lawlor.
He is survived by two daughters, Victoria and Kristina; who were the pride and joy of his life; a brother, William Lawlor; a sister, Christine McPaul; who will miss him beyond words; and his girlfriend, Kelly O'Connors who shared years of unconditional love and laughter with him. He will be incredibly missed.
The viewing will be held at the Higgins Memorial Home, 20 Center Street, Freehold on Thursday, November 30, 2023 from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Rose of Lima Church, Freehold on Friday, December 1, 2023 at noon. Memorial donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital would be appreciated.

I first met Dan in Marlboro middle school. We sat across from each other. He was so fun and funny. You just wanted to be near him. He was so outgoing. He changed schools at some point and it was years later we worked together at Battleground Country Club. He was friends with everyone, everyone loved Dan. Didn´t matter what your background was he had this amazing gift of connecting with people through laughter. His heart was so big and all of the great stories he told will stay with me forever. He came over my mom´s house when we visited NJ and love on every dog that we had over the years. He would let them lick is face until he couldn´t breath and break out a laugh so big it shook the room. I´m so blessed to have known him and had him in my life. The world seems a bit darker knowing he isn´t here. I´m including a photo of Lee and Dan from our wedding. May he rest in peace

I grew up across the street from the Lawlors. Danny was 7 yrs older and always treated me like a little brother. Great guy with a little bit of outlaw in him :). I´ll never forget how he would drive the riding mower in reverse and then slam it into drive and ride a wheelie for like 20 feet with the front wheels 3 feet off the ground, almost tipping backwards, haha. Fond memories.

To the Best of the Best:
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.
Rest in Peace Danny

Danny will forever be in my heart and memories. I will always smile when I think of you - we definitely have had some great times and laughs, always.
Till we meet again, Love Dana.
