Steven Daniel Lawrence
A celebration of the life of Steven Daniel Lawrence will be held 3 to 8 p.m. May 29 at Old Sitka.
Steven passed away April 28 in Anchorage, at the age of 41.
Steven was born June 24, 1979, in Sitka, the son of Deborah K. Gillian and Barton E. Lawrence. He attended Sitka High School, and through Youth Working a Mission he traveled around Europe and South Africa.
Over the years he was a carpenter, a contractor, a youth counselor, cultural artist and an all-around jack-of-all-trades.
He was a hard worker, very responsible, loved everyone, and was kind and considerate, his family said.
He also hunted with a bow and arrow. An excellent marksman, he harvested Native food for his family – and was an excellent cook!
Steven was preceded in death by his father, Barton E. Lawrence; his grandparents, Marjorie and Franklin Peters; and a cousin, Marcus Brady.
He is survived by his mother, Deborah K. Gillian, and his brother, Joshua J. Lawrence, both of Sitka; nephews Andrew Lawrence and Eli Lawrence; aunts and uncles Grace Gillian, Rose Tutiakoff, Dolly and David Didrickson, Jim and Donna Gillian, Georgia and Mike Hopson, Marjorie and Emmanual Staub, Ralph Brady, and Tim Tutiakoff Jr.
Cousins include Richard Didrickson, David Didrickson, Daisy Karasti, Sandra Campbell, Brendon Didrickson, Elijah Didrickson, Timothy Tutiakoff III, Jeremy Tutiakoff, Jim Gillian Jr., Patrick Gillian, Kyle Gillian, Tamaria Hillman, Tasha McGill, Christina Hopson-Brown, Michelle Hopson, Celeste Sandstrom, Maria Juarez, Jesse Marquez, Talia Staub, Marjorie Privett, Christopher Gazagian, Gabriel Staub and Jennie Lawrence.
