Kenneth Lloyd Lawrence

Kenneth Lloyd Lawrence, age 89, passed away at his home in Prescott Valley, Arizona on April 5, 2016, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Ken was a devoted husband and a loving father/grandfather/great-grandfather. He was an honorable and hard-working man.

At age 17, Ken joined the US Navy during World War II. He served aboard the USS LST 125 as a Motor Machinist 3rd Class. When the war was over, he returned to Oklahoma and finished high school. At age 24, Ken married the love of his life Fay.

He worked hard and became an engineer specializing in exotic rubber parts. Ken eventually owned his own business where he made specialized parts for jet aircraft, ground-to-air missile launchers, Stealth Bomber, Hubble telescope, and Space Shuttle.

Ken is survived by his wife Fay; daughters Tracy, Janet, and Susan; sons-in-law Roy, Michael H., and Michael M.; grandchildren Michelle, Adam, Russell, Douglas, Phillip, and Clayton; and great-grandchildren Adalynn, Lily, and Owen.

Ken and Fay's 65th wedding anniversary would have been on April 21, 2016.

The family is suggesting that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made for Alzheimer's research.
