On Wednesday, August 30, 2023, Lewis George Lawrence III of Double Oak, Texas, a loving husband and honorary father, found the fairway to heaven. He was 78.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio on December 19th, 1944 to Lewis George Jr. & Gwendolyn (Smith) Lawrence. After graduating from Shaw High School (1963), Lew enjoyed a celebrated military career; serving as a Staff Sergeant Specialist 5 for the Army and overseas as a Staff Sergeant and Aerial photographer for the US Air Force Reserves.  He then attended Cleveland State University where he graduated in 1978. Relocating to Double Oak, Texas in 1987, he continued a long, successful career in the business sector of client relationship management and corporate administration with Diamond Shamrock and later Occidental Chemical.  An avid golfer and member of Denton Country Club since 1992.  With his generous heart and exuberant personality, Lew was a friend to all.

He is survived by his beautiful wife of 50 years, Ann; nieces Danielle, Sonja, Heidi and Linda; nephews Steven and Jeffrey; godchildren Jennifer, Nathan and Christy; and the amazing members of The Benevolent Order of The Noon Group (DCC). Lew is reunited with his parents Gwen & Lewis George Jr., sister Leslie, a multitude of friends & acquaintances…Arnold Palmer, maybe Bob Goalby and that old, blue T-top Corvette.

A celebration of his life will be held at The Denton Country Club in Argyle, Texas on Friday, September 8 @ 6 PM.  To honor Lew's life of leisure, the family welcomes guests to wear golf and cruise attire in addition to traditional dress.  We are endlessly grateful for your unwavering love and support.
