Lawrence C. Lewis

Lawrence C. Lewis, age 75, of Florence, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2025. Born on March 28, 1949, in Sells, he was the son of Lupe Lopez and Jimmy Lewis. Lawrence was an active member of his community during his time at Florence High School, where he participated in sports, clubs, and student government.

Lawrence voluntarily enlisted in the Service right out of High School and proudly served in the U.S. Army, dedicating time to his country in both Vietnam and Korea. Throughout his younger years, he found joy in coaching youth sports and embraced a passion for running.

Lawrence is survived by his two children, Nicholas and Claudina Lewis, as well as three siblings—Mary Talas, Joyce Manzanedo, and Romo Lewis. He leaves behind six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and his many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Brian Lewis, and three siblings.
