Lawrence Kotwas Obituary
Formerly of Ashburn, Virginia passed on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, in Baltimore, Maryland surrounded by family and loved ones.
Born Saturday, April 22, 1961, in Washington, DC, he was the son of the late Jerry and Kathy Kotwas.
Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Cammie Myles Kotwas; sons, Kevin Kotwas and Scott Kotwas, brothers, Kenny Kotwas(Jill), Mark Kotwas(Kelly), sisters, Lisa Rooney(Mike) and Jennifer Blakeman(Lee).
Larry had an infectious laugh, an outward expression of the light and joy that was felt with every life he touched. His unbounded love and devotion to his family was given deeply and selflessly, and was matched only by the love his family shared for him. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend; a generous and kind-hearted person who gave everything he had to those he loved. Larry was an amazing man, and no words can do justice to who he was and what he meant to those who loved him. He will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege to know him.
The family will receive friends for a Memorial Visitation from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at Loudoun Funeral Chapel, 158 Catoctin Cr. SE, Leesburg, Virginia 20175
