I know this is rather behind the times but I was unfamiliar with the A & E show Intervention. Randomly flipping through channels the other night I ran across the interview with Lawrence. I knew him back in the late 90's, early 00's.

To his family, I am SO sorry for your loss. I understand how his expectations of people could be consuming but I remember being over at the house many times and him bragging on all of you and how much he loved you. I hope that gives you some comfort. I remember seeing pics of his precious brother that he was SO proud of excelling in college. His wonderful mom who he loved more than anything and wanted to protect. His very much loved brother that had to go through all the things that were unpleasant in home life.

A lot of people used Lawrence because of his generosity, and I left Vegas in 2003 so I am not sure what the stealing comments entail but it doesn't surprise me as he was giving to a fault.

It was very shocking to learn that he was gone via TV, but I respect that again he was trying to help others with his demise. May he rest in peace and may he be remembered as a truly wonderful individual rather than people concentrating on his faults. He gave a lot to the community in the way of community advocacy against family violence and always put others before himself.
