Lawrence, born to Estella and Manuel Evaro on November 19, 1962 in Las Cruces, NM. A graduate of Mayfield High School in 1980, Lawrence attended Texas Tech before joining the US Air Force in 1981, where he served his country for fifteen years. Upon leaving the Air Force, Lawrence began his civilian career as a Radar Program Manager with 84 RADES at Hill AFB, Utah. Lawrence married Consuelo Martinez on May 25, 1993 in Farmington, Utah; they had just celebrated their 17th anniversary. Beloved son, brother, husband and father will always be remembered affectionately as "Mi Rey", "LA" or "Sweetie Pie," his big heart, infectious laugh, witty smile (smirk), quick wit and ability to argue at the drop of a hat, for nothing will truly be missed. Along with his love for food, because as Mr. Iron Chef, he was the best! One of the greatest things we will miss is the argument over "His Pittsburgh Steelers" which we all know that he loved and adored, as he wore a t-shirt every day of the week.

He enjoyed golfing and was an awesome basketball, football, and baseball coach for Clearfield City. He loved working with the youth and his involvement with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be treasured. His greatest joy was being involved with his son Alex and all his activities.

He was a member of the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, the American Legion and the Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Club.

Surviving are his wife Consuelo, son Alejandro, parents Estella and Manuel Evaro, sisters, Sylvia Orme and Leticia Evaro, nieces Adrienne McKee, Jessica McKee and Theresa Martinez; nephews John Derek Soto, Zachary Soto, Mark McKee and Benjamin Martinez.
