Lawless dedicated his life to the USAF and retired then stepped up to the plate serving the DoD as a Civil Servant. He was a true model for all of to follow. The Lord has called him now to serve with him in heaven. Thank for being a role model. Thank you and your family for all the dedicated service. Praying for your family in their time of mourning.
“God saw the road was getting rough. The hills were hard to climb. He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered “Peace Be Thine”. The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed. The ever patient worn out frame, has found sweet rest at last. “
My heartfelt and deepest condolences to the Thomas family. Lawless was an awesome colleague and friend, who I had the pleasure of working with for almost 20yrs. He always brought cheer and laughter to the workplace. He will be truly missed but never forgotten. May his soul rest in heavenly peace.
Your Friend,
Val Ramirez
Lawless will truly be missed he was someone who always listened to what you had to say, and make you laugh when you were down. Lawless had an impact on so many people, it was an honor and privilege to have known him. May the Lord keep them close in their time of loss.
Praying for the family during this difficult time 🙏🙏
Praying always for our family. We were hit hard this year. Rest in Heaven Lawless, you will be truly missed by your family. A special prayer for your wife and children and also for your brothers. You will always be in the hearts of those who love you.
Old friend my brother I will miss you. We played basketball and had good times together
God always has a plan for us. We never understand God’s plan for us but his will shall be done.
My prayers are with your family. May God continue to comfort your family.
Revelation 21:4 – He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
Lawless “Tee”,
We go all the way back to “Security Hill” and kept in touch through the years. You were like a big brother to me. When I needed a laugh, Tee was always there.
I will miss you a lot. My condolences to the family during this time. The Lord will see you through this time.
I won’t say goodbye, just so long for now!!
God bless,
