Lawrence "Larry" Alan Cartwright, 68, of Roanoke, Virginia, passed away on Monday, June 27, 2022, at the Roanoke Memorial Hospital. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, and spent his years traveling between Chicago, Denver, and the last 20 years in Roanoke.

Lawrence was a skilled carpenter and spent his life creating with his hands; from custom cabinets to finished basements, to landscape masterpieces- his talent was well known and loved. His hobbies included golf, bowling, swimming in the pool, and he even spent his early years rebuilding cars and small model aircraft. He is lovingly remembered by his family as a stubborn, yet determined man who worked hard all his life, one who never knew a stranger, who knew all the "shortcuts" around town, and one with an amazing amount of natural talent in the ways of carpentry, cars, and sports.

He is preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Cartwright, Sr., and his daughter, Danielle Cartwright.

He is survived by his mother, Roberta Schaefer; his siblings, Bob Cartwright (Terri), Rick Cartwright, and Dorothy Turek (Fred); his daughters, Lisa Cartwright (Jaime), Heather Vogel, and Jessica Dunbar (David); and his 17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

The family will hold a memorial service at a later date.
