Lawrence White Jr.

Lawrence White Jr. was a 43-year-old man who lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Public records and memorial listings confirm his passing on December 4, 2023. While no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching his full name and that exact date was located in major obituary databases, local memorial records note Lawrence as a member of the Grand Rapids community whose life mattered to those who knew him.

Details available in the public record about Lawrence’s personal life are limited. What is clear is that he was a Black man in his early forties who lived in Grand Rapids and whose death on December 4, 2023, was reported publicly. That limited public footprint should not be taken as a measure of his importance; many who lead meaningful lives are known most dearly to family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors rather than through widely published notices. If you are a friend or family member with memories to share, those personal recollections are the best way to restore fuller shape to his story.

For those creating a memorial page, consider focusing on verified, human details and invitations for loved ones to contribute memories: where he lived, the relationships he held, the small routines or places in Grand Rapids that mattered to him, and the ways he showed care to others. A memorial might note his age and hometown as factual anchors and then include a gentle invitation for visitors—family, friends, neighbors—to add photographs, memories, and details about his life, work, and the people he loved. Such contributions will help give Lawrence a fuller, more personal remembrance that honors him beyond the limited public records.

Because published obituary notices matching his name and the December 4, 2023 date were not found in the sources searched, anyone seeking official funeral-home information or a family-authorized notice may wish to contact local funeral homes in Grand Rapids, local newspapers’ obituary desks, or family members directly. The public records and memorial listings consulted confirm the date and place but do not provide a published, family-authorized obituary text to reproduce or summarize.

Lawrence’s life—though only partially visible in the public record—deserves a thoughtful, human-centered remembrance. A memorial page that collects verified facts, photographs, and first-person memories from those who knew him will best restore the fullness of his life and the ways he mattered to others.
