Glenn Bane Lawson

Glenn Lawson, 68, of Kingsport went to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 14, 2020 after a brief battle with cancer, with his loving wife and granddaughters by his side.  He was born St. Paul, VA on November 30, 1951, but resided most of his life in Kingsport TN. Glenn had served six years in the National Guard Reserve out of Gate City, VA.  He worked for the Kingsport Press for ten years before moving to Eastman Chemical Company where he worked until retirement.  Glenn was an active member of Bethesda Cumberland Presbyterian Church.  He enjoyed spending time with his friends and church community. He loved all church activities but especially enjoyed playing “Santa” at Christmas. One of his talents was “fixing” things and no matter what happened the family motto was “Popaw can fix it” Above all, Glenn loved his faith, his family and his country.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elbert Ray Lawson and Belva Jean Hamilton, of Nickelsville, VA; brother, Gary Lawson of Gate City.
