Ronald B. Lawson, loved making others smile

Ronald (Ron) B. Lawson, 74, of Millsboro, died Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, at his residence with family by his side. 

He was born July 8, 1947, along with his twin, Donald, in Wilmington, the son of the late Carl and Anna Belle Payne Lawson. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Neal and Donald, and four sisters, Janet Fay Lawson, Lois Lawson, Elizabeth (Betty) Adams, and Beatrice Thorp.

Ron held various leadership positions during the course of his career, most recently as regional vice president for ABM and Carlton Management. He had a passion for mentoring others, which allowed him to share his skills and knowledge. Ron really enjoyed cooking, especially when he was sharing his delicious meals with others. He enjoyed fishing and was also an avid boxing fan. 

Ron fought courageously against asbestos and maintained a positive attitude. 

Ron is survived by his daughters, Ronda Lawson Blakeman, and Jamie Holland Clark and her husband Ben; his grandchildren, Austin and Caroline, both of Maryland; two brothers, Michael of Pennsville, N.J., and Richard of Oswego, Ill. He also leaves many nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends who will sadly miss him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date when COVID-19 conditions permit.
