Laurice passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. A man known for his big heart, million-dollar smile, and infectious sense of humor, Laurice lived a life full of joy, hard work, and love for others.
He found true happiness in the simple things—working outdoors, cutting grass, and spending time on a tractor were among his favorite pastimes. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Laurice was known for his deep knowledge and down-to-earth wisdom, which he shared freely with those around him.
Friendly with most everyone he met, Laurice had a way of making people feel at ease. He loved making others laugh and found joy in bringing smiles to those around him. His greatest pride, however, was his family, whom he loved deeply and unconditionally.
Laurice will be remembered as a kind soul, a hardworking man, and someone who made the world a little brighter with his presence. His legacy of love, laughter, and generosity will live on in all who knew him
