Larry's obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Lawrence. Larry was born on the 5th of January, 1941 and departed this life on the 19th of March, 2024.

Larry’s life-long passion was his company, Lawrence Mechanical. As the company grew, so did the importance of his employees and close friends who became like family over the years. If anyone needed help with a project, Larry was there with a helping hand.

Most recently, you could spot Larry zipping around Elk Grove on his bright red e-bike heading to Laguna Creek Trail to feed the ducks, geese, and turtles. His yellow happy face flag flowing behind his e-bike was a reminder to all that today was another good day. At 83, Larry was never one to slow down and had an infectious enthusiasm for life.

Larry was a doting husband to his wife, Linda, and a dedicated father to his children, Kimmy Merrick, Bobby Lawrence, Cathy Rice, Shelley Messer, and Philip Stephens, and grandfather to seven grandchildren. The gap he has left within their lives and hearts is immense, but the cherished memories they've made together will always bring comfort in the most difficult of times.

A Celebration of Larry's life will be held on the 27th of April, 2024, at 3:00 PM at the Herberger Family Elk Grove Funeral Chapel. A reception will follow at Happy Garden Elk Grove at 4:15 PM. All who knew and loved Larry are welcome to join us as we remember a man who made our lives brighter. The family invites friends to share some of their favorite memories of Larry during the celebration.

As a token of our respect and love for Larry, in lieu of flowers, we kindly request you to make a donation to 'The Bear League', a cause close to Larry's heart. Funds can be donated through the following link: https://everloved.com/life-of…

Larry's passing is a somber reminder of the fragility of life. His friendly, social nature, and zest for life will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
