He was born in Grant County, Indiana, on Saturday, May 25, 1940, to Lawrence and Mary (Flook) Lawson. \u00a0He was married on October 18, 1975, to Diane (Jacobs) Lawson, who survives.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJay graduated from Sweetser High School in 1958. He served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Thailand. He achieved the rank of Airman First Class and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, and Commendation Medal.\r\n\r\nFollowing his honorable discharge from the military, Jay had worked with SCM Paper Products, Sears, and United Technologies. \u00a0He was a member of Sweetser Wesleyan Church.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, Jay loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He was an avid IU, Chicago Cubs, and Oak Hill Golden Eagles fan. He enjoyed gardening, having grown his own vegetables and cared for his garden bottle tree over the years. He always kept flowers growing around his home and liked to maintain his property. He enjoyed spending his winters in Gulf Shores, Alabama, with his wife. Jay was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and he was a devoted follower of the Lord. He was resilient in the face of cancer and, with the help of God, won his battle. He will be missed dearly.\r\n\r\nSurvivors include his loving wife, Diane Lawson of Sweetser; sons, Nathan (Katy) Lawson of Amboy and Jacob (Emily) Lawson of Sweetser; grandchildren, Ryan, Matthew, and Brooke; several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends; and close friends, Arch (Lynnda) Johnson.\r\n\r\nHe was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Roberta Marcott, Marianna Weaver, Ruth Horn, and Juanita Lawson; and brothers, Lyman Wayne Lawson, Merle Lawson, Earl Lawson, and Fred Lawson.\r\n\r\nThe family will receive visitors from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Monday, February 24, 2025, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday, February 25, 2025, a service to celebrate Jay's life will begin at 11:00 am with Rev. Matthew Stewart and Dr. Aaron Perry co-officiating. \u00a0Burial will take place at LaFontaine I.O.O.F. Cemetery.\r\n\r\nMemorial contributions may be directed to Sweetser Wesleyan Church, 200 W. Delphi Rd., Sweetser, IN 46987 or Gilead Ministries, 212 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN 46952.\r\n\r\nMemories may be shared online at www.nswcares.com.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"obituary-description__store\">To send flowers to the family of Jay, please\u00a0<a class=\"obituary-description__store--link\" href=\"https:\/\/needhamstoreywampner-north-chapel.tributestore.com\/?oId=37358871&amp;tag=&amp;source=tco_description&amp;_cdx=GA1.1.1050496179.1738002651:GS1.1.1740417680.11.1.1740419256.56.0.0&amp;tcouuid=77c9a6c3-ce1a-447e-a38c-7a63dbdf9774&amp;mtph=1\" rel=\"noopener\">visit our floral store.<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jay Lee Lawson, 84, Sweetser, went to be with the Lord at 4:31 am on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at Marion Health.
