Bio
Fort Bend Herald, October 8, 2018: On October 5, 2018, Lawrence Paul Zwahr, 87, of Needville, Texas, left this earthly world. He was joyfully greeted in heaven by his family members who preceded him in death. Lawrence was born on December 14, 1930 in Richmond, Texas to Paul and Mary Steffek Zwahr. He was the second oldest of five children. He graduated from Richmond High School in 1948. While attending college at WCJC, he held various jobs. In 1951, Lawrence voluntarily enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed for several years in Japan. After his discharge, Lawrence attended the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS. He later returned to Texas and began a 37.3 year career with Dow Chemical in Freeport, TX retiring on December 31, 1992. Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Calvin and Alphonse (Bibs) Zwahr; and sister, LaVerne Meyen. He was also preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Janice Zwahr; brother-in-law, Otto Meyen; nephews, Darrel Zwahr and David Meyen; and mother and father in-law, Victoria (Dora) and Walter Arnie. Lawrence is survived by his wife of 60 years, Allene Arnie Zwahr; his son ,Brian Zwahr of Needville; daughter, Connie Busch and husband, Daryl, of Rio Rancho, NM; daughter, Donna Britt and husband, Steven, of Sugar Land; and son, Craig Zwahr and special friend, Vickie Maresh, of Needville. Also survived by sister, Mary Ann Bezecny and husband, Conroy, of Needville; sister-in-law, LaNelle Zwahr of Fairchilds; his granddaughter, Brandy Curry of Honduras; and grandson, Colby Curry of Rio Rancho, NM; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. His favorite pastimes included going to the pasture tending to his cattle, spending time with his sons and their cattle, tinkering in his shop, and enjoying a cup (or two) of coffee with the morning crew at 360 Short Stop. Lawrence loved his family and spending time with them was one of his favorite things to do. He could also easily be coaxed into a good game of 42. Lawrence was dearly loved by his family and friends who will all miss him tremendously. The family would like to thank the staff at SPJST for the special care they provided Lawrence these last several months. Visitation will be held from 5:00-8:00 pm on Monday, October 8th at Davis-Greenlawn Funeral Chapel. The funeral service will be held at 10:00 am at Davis-Greenlawn Funeral Chapel followed by the burial at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Rosenberg, TX. Pallbearers will be Craig Zwahr, Dale Zwahr, Dwayne Zwahr, Mike Nulisch, Stephen Band, and Anthony Stredick. Serving as honorary pallbearers are his nephews. After all services have concluded, the family ask that you return to Immanuel Evangelical Fellowship Hall in Needville for lunch and to visit and reminisce.
