Kenneth Harold Lawson

Kenneth Harold “Kenny” Lawson, age 72, a longtime resident of Prince George, VA, passed away Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and William Lawson, and his wife, Carolyn Oakley Lawson.

Kenny started Virginia Heating & Cooling in 1985 with the plan of it being a family owned and operated business. Kenny worked with his sons and grandson until his health declined.

When Kenny wasn’t busy working, he enjoyed spending time with his family at his home in Mathews and going out on the boat, saltwater fishing. He also enjoyed going to West Virginia and riding on the Hatfield McCoy Trails.

Kenny was the guiding light for his family. He was a wealth of knowledge. There wasn’t much he didn’t know or couldn’t do. He had many lifelong friends. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Kenny is survived by his children, William “Billy” Lawson (Chana Johnson), Kenneth “Wade” Lawson (Lisa), Matthew “Cory” Lawson (Christina), and Blake Lawson; grandchildren, Alexandra, Emily, Madison, Kayleigh, Corbin, Bryce, and Kylar; brother, Donnie Lawson (Patty), as well as his beloved dogs, “PeeWee” “Patchy” and “Blue.”

A graveside funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 21, 2025 at Merchants Hope Memorial Gardens, 11302 Merchants Hope Road, N. Prince George, VA 23860.
