Lawrence Allen Russell Sr was born October 22, 1950, to James W. Russell Sr and Luberta Coleman Russell in Nashville, TN. Lawrence departed this life on Sunday July 21, 2024.
Lawrence professed his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized at an early age. Although he didn't belong to a church Lawrence was a faithful viewer of Creflo Dollar, Fred Price, Tony Evans, Kenneth Copeland, Charles Stanley, Charles and Annette Capps.
Lawrence was educated in the Metro Public School System. He graduated from Cumberland High School where he was an awesome football star. A few of his past work employers were Oscar Meyer, Level Valley Creamery/Shrieber and his last employer was Feintool Tennessee Inc. He enjoyed working outdoors, cutting grass, working around the house, washing/waxing his cars, truck and motorcycles. Even when he became sick and no longer able to ride his motorcycles he made sure they were wiped down and shining at all times. He would always say "Keep your cars clean and shining" and "we don't do knock offs over here Harley Davidson or nothing at all".
A few of Lawrence's quotes "Paying attention to detail is like reading the fine print"
"Never had in-laws it has always been my brothers, my sisters, and my son"
"Lonnie couldn't get a vest because I couldn't find one with a baby basket"
"Believe in God, and put on the whole body of armor"
