Jatzlau, Lawrence Roland
Obituary
2023
Lawrence Roland Jatzlau, age 79, of Sealy, Texas, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, April 21, 2023, at his home with his wife by his side.
Lawrence was born at home near Lexington, Texas on November 14, 1943. He went to school until the 5th grade when he was pulled out to work in the family drywall business. He was a self-employed drywall hanger. He traveled many miles to sheetrock, tape, and float houses. He was very fast and very good at his job. In his spare time, he loved growing a vegetable garden. He would work in that garden for hours on end. He loved sharing his veggies with his family and friends. He would spend hours mowing grass and making his yard something to be proud of. Lawrence loved making homemade grape jelly, canning pickles, and homemade BBQ sauce. Speaking of BBQ, he made the best BBQ and his family loved it. While he would BBQ, Cajun music was playing and a cold beer was in his hand. You never left his house with an empty stomach or an empty hand. Lawrence loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He would spoil them with snow cones and candy all the time. He would never tell them NO. He will be missed dearly. Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Susie Jatzlau; infant brothers, Glen Elwood and Edward Glen Jatzlau; and a brother, Kenneth Ray Jatzlau. Lawrence is survived by his wife of 58 years, Margaret Jatzlau; daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and David Cash of Sealy; son and daughter-in-law, Raymond and Becky Jatzlau of Humble; brothers, Edwin Jatzlau and wife, Jimmie Gail, of Magnolia, Maurice Jatzlau and wife, Betty, of Cypress; sister, Sandy Sneck and husband, Carl, of Conroe; his grandchildren, Kimberly Rider and husband, Tim, of Angleton, Jennifer Ralston and husband, Cole, of Dickinson, Krystal Cash, Kristen Cash, Taylor Cash, and Deanna Cash of Sealy; his great-grandchildren, Addison Rider, Sydney Rider, Hudson Ralston, and Owen Ralston; nieces, Debbie, Kerrie, Brandie, Tammy; and nephews, Steven, Edwin Jr., and Richard. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Knesek Family Funeral Chapel, 768 4th Street, Sealy, TX, followed by a funeral service at 12:00 PM. Burial will be in Sealy Cemetery. |
