Ronnie E. Lawson, slipped off the mortal coils of this earth and passed on to join his mother and others family and friends who’d gone before him. He found his peace in death that eluded him thru many of the 56 years that he spent with us here in this world. Seemingly born with the gift of being able to repair broken things, we hand him off to his Maker who has surly undertaken the loving task of mending the damage this world visited upon our beloved Ronnie. His talent and skill for bringing life back into the old and worn out brought elation and delight to those who’d believed their treasured keepsakes had been lost to time or wear. Ronnie took great satisfaction in seeing smiles return to the faces of friends and family when he used his abilities to refurbish the broken. In death, he donated the tools of his body as a final repair to someone in need of organ donation.
