David Lee Lawson

David Lee Lawson, beloved husband, Dad and Papa, went to be with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and found peace with God on October 7, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

David was born December 4, 1956 to Loyd and Grace Lawson in Pittsburg, California.

He was a machinist for many years, working on his Uncle Bob's audio equipment. He had a good ear for music & sound quality, often building his own audio cables and speakers. He put all his talent & experience to good use and became the sound man for our family singing group Heartstrings. He worked meticulously to make every performance sound the best that it could.

David and Gwen Lawson were married on April 14, 1990.

One thing that anyone who met David knew for certain was that he loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and Grandpa. Anytime a family member needed help, David was there to lend a hand. David was a man of integrity, generosity, kindness, and an all around good man.

David is survived by his wife of 36 years, Gwen Lawson of Granger; his children Davy Lawson (Allison), Aaron Lawson, Adam Lawson (Amanda), Jesse Lawson (Raquel), Amory Pacheco, Anija Pacheco (Brian), Colithia Scabbyrobe, as well as by his grandchildren Kadyn, Aaliyah, Victoria, Jonathan, Brooklynn, Casey, Loretta, and Riley.

He is also survived by sisters Cheryl Wagoner (Steve) and Donna Lawson-Murillo, both of California, and his brother Allen Lawson (Tina) of Pasco.

He is preceded in death by his father Loyd Lawson, his mother Grace Lawson(Castro), and his stepfather Wally Castro.

The family would like to extend a note of thanks to MultiCare Hospice for their kindness and gentle care for David.

Burial will be at Zillah Cemetery at 1:00 pm on Friday, November 13, with a memorial to follow at the Zillah Civic Center 2:00-4:00 pm.
