Lawrence was born in Marlboro County on February 21, 1961. He was a son of the late Prince and Missouri Johnson Clark. Lawrence was the youngest son of nine children. Lawrence was a loving, dedicated brother, brother-in-law, uncle, and friend. His passion was fishing with his best friend, and brother-in-law Buddy. He enjoyed taking care of his animals and spending time with his family and friends. Lawrence loved to watch wrestling, kung-fu, and western movies. He loved to laugh and joke. Lawrence never met a stranger. He would go above and beyond to help anybody in need. He was a man of few words, but always took the time to make sure everyone else was ok.
