John Lawson Dies at Age 60
Baldwinsville, NY (12/3/06) - John Lawson
passed away in his sleep of natural causes just a few
days ago at home in New York. He just returned home after
spending Thanksgiving weekend with his best friend, “Digger”
Doug Gust, in Wisconsin. Over the past few years, Lawson
has become Doug’s right hand man at and away from
the track.
Doug wasn’t the only rider helped by Lawson as
he has been around ATV racing since the late 80’s
when his son, Randy, started racing on a Yamaha Warrior.
When Randy, retired from racing, John remained attached
to the sport and helped many different riders along
the way including Women Champions Leslie Wells and Angela
Butler while holding down a full time job as a UPS Truck
Driver. After 30 years of service, John retired two
years ago.
Over the years, John Lawson touched the hearts of many,
and I am one of them. I had the opportunity to spend
a lot of time with John this year at the Nationals especially
when I drove him to and from the hotel and track at
several events. He lived and breathed ATV racing, and
he had plenty of stories to share about his experiences
over the years.
John’s son, Randy, said it best “There
is no where else on earth he would rather be than at
the track helping and watching all of you ATV lovers
race.”
The Lawson Family personally invites everyone to attend
John’s funeral in New York.
John Lawson’s funeral will be held at Falardeau
Funeral Home on Tuesday, December 5, 2006 from 12:00-2:00PM.
