Visit the J. Henry Stuhr Mount Pleasant Chapel website to view the full obituary.
David George Lawrence, 73, of Daniel Island, South Carolina passed away on the Fifteenth of April, Two Thousand Twenty-One. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eben Benjamin and Beverly Jarvis Lawrence. David is survived by his wife of nearly fifty years, Anne "Honey" Lawrence, his daughters Tyler (Dean) Lawrence Bradley of Marietta, Georgia, and Merideth Lawrence Rath of Daniel Island, South Carolina, his adored granddaughter, Henley Rath, and gentlemen grandsons, Hubbell Lawrence Bradley and Redford Cooper Bradley, and his sister Sandy (Joseph) Lawrence Foster of Fairfax, Virginia. While David was born in Warren, Ohio, he truly "lived" in the South, enjoying his life in Athens and Marietta, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. He was a graduate of Athens High School, and the University of Georgia, and a "Damn Good Dawg." For over fifty years he led a distinguished career in Fine Menswear. David was only comfortable in a freshly starched shirt and dress pants, accompanied by Gucci Croc Loafers, no socks. He is a member of the "Old Friends Society." David represented some of the finest menswear labels including Hathaway, Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin, Burberry's of London, Aquascutum of London, Henry Jacobson, Fairway and Green, Peter Blair, Robert Jensen, Hickey Freeman, Nettleton, Drake's of London, House of Carrington, and Southwick. While David's work took him to New York, London and Paris, he extensively traveled the South East. He had a talent of knowing where each Dairy Queen was located and never met a Varsity hot dog he did not love. As a younger gentleman his life was consumed with his wife and two daughters. David made sure they were true ladies, both with private Women's College degrees and graduate degrees. He gave them a perfect life, being a Daddy to the very end. But later in life David found his true calling as a Granddad. His pride and joy were spending time with Henley and being proud of his Grandsons. Our Husband, Daddy, Granddad, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, friend, colleague, "Senator," "Best Bubba," and "Sir" will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, please support your favorite fine Menswear Store with a new dress shirt and tie.

David was a wonderful person. We spent many a dinner together working on the road. David was the consummate professional and he always strived for perfection in everything he did. David was the personification of class. I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the family of David Lawrence. David and I were apparel reps together for House of Carrington and Fairway and Greene. David always was such a nice man, impeccably dressed with a smile on his face. He will be a southern gentleman, truly missed.

David was one of the finest men I have ever met. We first met in Coral Gables, Fla
some 43 years ago. He was a good friend and best salesman that ever called on me. Our journey started at HartMarx and then Geo. Muse clothing co. in Atlanta.
Prayers of comfort to the family, he will be sourly missed.

David was one of the first persons I met when I started traveling in the apparel business over 40 years ago - he was working for Johnny Cunningham in Athens Georgia and he made a point to welcome me and treat me with courtesy and respect which was his trademark in life - I will miss seeing him and having breakfast and discussing the apparel business and Athens Georgia at every Charlotte trade show like we used to do. My sincere sympathies and prayers to the family and may he RIP. Dave Hanson

I am heart broken at the loss of one of my closest friends. Dave and I roomed together in college before I left him for my permanent room mate of 53 years, Donna. Dave was one of the groomsmen in our wedding as I was in his and sweet Anne's. There are so many great memories to look back on, especially attending Georgia Games - Go Dawgs! and visiting one another which looking back on now, regretfully, we did not do that enough. Despite being born in PA, Dave was a true Southern Gentleman and I will miss him.

Sad to lose a great friend like Dave. Many great memories of a special guy.
I can see him cutting grass in an Oxford button-down shirt. CLASSY Fellow.
