Lawrence Cervantes III

A passionate animal lover and devoted farmer, Lawrence poured his heart into his work at Walmart for nearly 25 years, touching countless lives with his boundless kindness and unwavering dedication—a legacy that will forever echo in the hearts he uplifted.

He was the most loving husband of 21 years to Debbie Cervantes and a deeply devoted father to five children. His spirit shone brightest in his relationships with the four additional stepchildren who lovingly called him Dad. He is survived by 21 adoring grandchildren, three brothers, three sisters, and an endless circle of family and friends who treasured him. His loss is felt profoundly by all who knew his gentle soul.

A Visitation at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home for Lawrence will be held Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A Celebration of Life at Crawford Bowers will occur Sunday, October 26, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family tearfully requests donations to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (https://www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/), a beacon of hope and unwavering support for those battling bile duct cancer. This tribute to Lawrence’s boundless compassion and gentle spirit would surely bring a tender smile to his soul, keeping his memory alive in every act of kindness given. Additionally, Walmart will match any contribution from a current employee to this charity at the associate or executive level, amplifying the impact of your generosity in Lawrence’s honor.
