- [S106] The Mountain Press, 25 Apr 2009.
Fred T. Lawson died suddenly of complications from a knee infection on April 25, 2009, at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, TN.
He had returned to live in Sevierville after retiring from a thirty-five year career as a reporter for the Dayton Journal-Herald and Dayton Daily News in Ohio. He started out in 1957 at the Journal-Herald as a sports reporter, covering college and high school athletics around the Dayton area, building on his lifelong passion for sporting events of all kinds. He then covered communities in the surrounding counties and ended his career at the Daily News as a police reporter for the city of Dayton. He was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Kettering, serving many years on the Board of Deacons. In October 1951, he married Rose Mary Haley of Brooksville, Kentucky. They were married for almost fifty-seven years when she passed away in August of 2007.
Fred is survived by two sons, Fred H. Lawson of Bodega Bay, California, and Thomas T. Lawson of El Cerrito, California; two daughters-in-law, Deborah D. Lawson and Dina Rasor; and two beloved grandsons, Daniel Lawson of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Nicholas Lawson of Willamette University.
Services will be held 11 a.m. Thursday, April 30, 2009, in the old Sanctuary at First Baptist church of Sevierville with Dr. Randy Davis and Rev. Scott Andrews officiating.
