He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren: Cody, Clay, Tyler, Emily Jacobs, Kylie, Courtney, Ashley and Jessica Lawson. He also leaves behind his beloved great-grandchild, Bella-Rose Jacobs. Additional survivors include his brother, Thomas Lawson of Texas; his half-sister, Teresa Krycaniak of Colorado; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
