Lawrence Boteilho Jr.'s Obituary
We gather in the warmth of memory to bid farewell to Lawrence Boteilho Jr. Born on May 30th, 1950 peacefully passed away on April 12th, 2024. Lawrence was a man whose life was as rich and vast as the Maui seas he cherished. Born and raised on the sun-kissed shores of Maui, Lawrence's spirit was as free and adventurous as the winds that graced the island.
A master of the tides, Lawrence found solace and joy in offshore fishing, his heart beating in rhythm with the waves. His passion for life wasn't confined to the ocean; it raced through the tracks as he indulged in the thrill of racing, and it echoed in the quiet concentration of solving sudoku puzzles.
Lawrence's legacy is not only etched in the hearts of his loved ones but also in the community he served through LBJ Texaco, which later evolved into LBJ Auto Repair. His dedication to his craft was only matched by his commitment to his family and friends.
He leaves behind a loving wife, Wendy, who stood by him like a lighthouse to his shore. His sons, Lawrence and Lance, carry forward his name and his indomitable spirit. His grandsons, Dominick and Damien, will grow up with tales of their grandfather's adventures and the wisdom he imparted.
His sisters, Stephanie and Donna, and his brother, Raymond, along with their families, remember Lawrence as the cornerstone of joy and unity. His nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews knew him as the uncle who could always bring a smile to their faces.
Lawrence's love for YouTube browsing reflected his endless curiosity and desire to learn, traits that he has undoubtedly passed down to his family. His absence will be felt at every family gathering, every fishing trip, and in every quiet moment when the memories flood back.
As we say goodbye to Lawrence Boteilho Jr., we celebrate a life lived with passion, love, and an unquenchable zest for life. May his journey beyond be as fulfilling as the one he led among us.
A hui hou, Lawrence
