LAWSON, DAVID NELSON, age 62, of Ortonville, passed away suddenly on September 6, 2021.
Dave was born in Pontiac, MI to parents Douglas and Betty (nee Jarrard) Lawson. Loving husband of Susan for almost 39 years; proud father of Chad Lawson; dear brother of Chris (Denise MacDonald) Lawson and Debbie (Doug) Martin; grandfather of Colton Jeffrey Lawson. Dave is also survived by his Mother, Betty Lawson, and his in-laws, Robert and Barbara Pickett. Dave was preceded in death by his father, Douglas Lawson. Dave and Sue loved spending their free time at their cabin up north in Gladwin, Michigan, where they loved taking walks and watching deer. Dave loved boating, dancing, laughing loudly, cornhole tournaments, and his friends and family. Dave always made sure that everyone he met felt special and would have a good time. Dave will be remembered as a loving husband, dad, and a wonderful friend. A memorial gathering will be held in honor of Dave at a later date. Dave was loved by many and will be deeply missed. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Michigan Humane Society. Please share condolences and memories with the family on the online guestbook and keep his friends and family in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

Nobody could laugh more and as loud as Dave,many good times snowmobiling,RIP Big fella,you will be missed.
Sue and family, we are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Dave was always a friendly neighbor to us and we could always expect to see him on the lake enjoying life. Always smiling, laughing and waving to us. He was so very kind to our son as well. We will miss seeing him on the lake. You two were always together and you could tell you were best friends. My heart aches for your loss. There should be more Dave’s in the world, laughing and smiling. He was a good man and will be missed by us for sure! Our deepest sympathy, Frank & Cindy King
So sorry to hear about Dave. I met him a few times through my brother Dave Hartzler. I know he will be missed by my brother and all his friends.
My condolences to all of Dave’s family.
