Kevin J. Lawrence, 72, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 24, 2024 after a brief but devastating battle with brain cancer.
Kevin grew up in Peabody but resided in Southern California for the majority of his life. To know Kevin was to love him-kind, good-natured, funny and always up for a good time is how he would want to be remembered by all. Anyone who has ever spent time with him knows the love he had for his family and for life. He was a people person to the core-spending the majority of his life working in real estate. He loved watching football, boating, skiing, watching his children play sports growing up, and above all-his family. His sense of humor was unmatched and luckily, it will live on in his children.
After 45 years in California, Kevin and his beloved wife Margee finally moved back home to Massachusetts to be near their children and grandchildren. Kevin, fondly known as Pops, to his two grandchildren loved being a grandfather and spent two glorious years living close by and spending time with them constantly.
Kevin was lucky enough to spend over 50 years with his wife, Margee (Femino) Lawrence. They were married in 1978 and shared two children and two grandchildren. In addition to his loving wife, Margee, he is survived by his daughter Jessica (Lawrence) Blomerth, son in law Michael Blomerth, and their children Ella and Lucas; his son, Nicholas and his girlfriend Christine Dela Rosa; brothers Gary Lawrence, Paul Lawrence, Tim Lawrence; many sisters in law, brothers in law, nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Donald J Lawrence and Dorella (Hebert) Lawrence; sister in law, Patricia (Femino) Cobb; his niece, Sarah (Nicoll) Boyle.
A celebration of life will be held privately for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Kevin's name to the Glioblastoma Foundation at glioblastomafoundation.org.
