DAVID ROLAND LAWLEY

David Roland Lawley, a devoted husband, loving father, wonderful uncle, proud grandfather, and faithful servant of Christ, entered his eternal home on October 17, 2025, surrounded by his family and the peace of his Savior, Jesus Christ. Born on January 12, 1959, David lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering faith. He was the beloved husband of Paula Lawley, his lifelong partner and best friend, with whom he shared countless memories, laughter, and unshakable devotion. David was a proud and caring father to Raine Lawley, Karri Winstead and her husband, Eric Winstead; a beloved brother and brother-in-law to his brother, Billy Lawley, and his wife, Cindy Lawley; and sister-in-law, Lynn Lawley. David dearly loved his many nieces and nephews and found great joy in being part of their lives. He was also a deeply cherished grandfather to Savanah Heath, Kyleigh Wisener, Mystri Puckett, Maximus Winstead, Ariel Winstead, Aurora Winstead, Sofia Winstead, Elijah Winstead, Ella Winstead, Eric Puckett, and Montgomery Wisener. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and he never missed an opportunity to make them laugh, tell a story, or share a bit of his trademark wit. David had a special love for Jesus, fishing, and Alabama college football. Whether he was out on the water with a fishing pole or yelling “Roll Tide!” during a big game, he brought joy and humor wherever he went. His hilarious sarcasm was legendary — the kind that could make anyone laugh, even in the hardest moments — and his quick wit will be remembered by everyone blessed to know him. Those who knew David will remember his kind heart, sharp humor, and deep faith. He lived out the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Though he will be deeply missed, his family takes comfort in knowing that David is now home with his Savior, free from pain and surrounded by eternal peace — probably cracking a joke or two in Heaven. A celebration of David’s life will be held on October 21st at Peoples Funeral Home in Hueytown at 2:00 P.M., with visitation from 1:00 P.M. until 2:00 P.M. Friends and family are invited to gather in remembrance of a man whose love, laughter, and faith will forever remain in our hearts. David was preceded in death by his parents, Roland Lawley and Mary Lynn Lawley (Jill); his brother, Gary Lawley; and a host of aunts and uncles.
