Obituary for Howard Lynn Lawson
Howard Lynn Lawson of Arlington, formerly of Italy, passed away at home on January 3, 2021. He was born on October 20, 1943 to Howard and Eva Shinpaugh Lawson.
He married Diane Maida in 1966. Lynn was so proud of their two sons, Scott and Stephen Lawson.
After graduating from the University of North Texas, he was employed as a homebuilder and also owned an auto parts store in Italy. He was an avid drag racing fan who built and raced cars. He was a rural mail carrier for almost 30 years before retiring.
He loved his family and friends, but his grandchildren, Brandon and Katelyn, were the ones that stole his heart. His favorite thing to do was spend time with them. He enjoyed watching Brandon play football and Katelyn perform in choir concerts. Lynn was the happiest when he was with his family.
Lynn never met a stranger. He could talk to anyone about anything. He knew where to go for the best food in the area. He made many memories with friends whenever he could and was always willing to help anyone in need.
Lynn is survived by his wife, Diane Lawson of Arlington; sons, Scott Lawson of Burleson and Stephen Lawson and wife, Stephanie, of Arlington; grandchildren Brandon and Katelyn Lawson of Arlington; siblings Janice Mauldin of Ennis, Jackie Hill and Sharolyn Cooper of Waxahachie, Gary Low and wife, Carol, of Avalon and Rodney Lawson; and his special cousin, Tonie Allard and husband, Dan, of Farmersville.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Eva Mauldin, father Howard Lawson and sibling Larry Low.
