Lawrence Jack Haven (“Wolf”) May 19, 1963 – January 29, 2025 Lawrence Jack Haven, also known as Wolf, Little Larry, and L.J., was born in Poitiers, France, were has dad was stationed with the Army, on May 19, 1963 and passed away too soon on January 29, 2025 at the age of 61 after a yearlong battle with head and neck cancer. His beloved dogs, Magic and Dakota, were by his side when he slipped away peacefully in his sleep while in his favorite chair. Larry was very proud of his time served in the United States Navy and had a deep love for his country and for his home state of Texas. He grew up playing in the country at our grandparent’s house once a week and he loved every minute of it. His temper would get him in trouble, but his huge, beautiful smile brought joy to many. So many stories have been shared via Facebook regarding his jokes, laughter, friendship, and generosity. His entire life, he was blessed with an outgoing personality and was always an excellent storyteller. He worked in various industries, such as truck driving, but his favorite time was spent working for Dad’s company, Builders Square. He built many friendships while working in the home improvement industry. As a single parent, he had love and pride for his son and grandkids, in addition to his family and for animals. He enjoyed riding his Harley, reading books, and watching westerns. The last few years, he spent much time messaging friends and family and reminiscing about the past and wishing to return home. He was devastated at the sudden loss of Spirit, his fiancée, in 2022, but his devotion to her carried on through all his tributes. Dad mentored him in the loss of a soulmate, which created a special bond between father and son. Larry fought hard to beat cancer and even had the opportunity to “ring the bell” in October 2024. He fought cancer at the same time as his sister, Tracy, and together they battled as big brother and little sister. He has now returned home to Spirit, Mom, and all the relatives, as well as to his beloved Texas. Larry is preceded in death by the following loved ones: fiancée, Spirit (Timara); stepmother (“Mom”), Margrate; grandparents, Alfred Preston and Hattie Grace Morrow and Geneva Haven Lane; uncles Bobby, Joe, and Charles Morrow; Cousins Wade Griesenbeck, George, Arnie, and Cindy Morrow. He is survived by his father, Lawrence Alton Haven; son James Rosenberg (formerly Laura Haven) and his wife Kym; sister, Tracy Marie Haven-Wallace and husband, Dan Wallace; nephew, Dalton Haven Hopkins; stepsons Russ, Colton, O’Ryan; aunt Billie Marie Griesenbeck; 8 grandchildren and 1 future great-grandchild; his mother, Jo, and sister, Michelle and their families; numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles; and Spirit’s daughter and grandson. Larry is also survived by his beloved biker family and so many friends that loved him dearly. Larry will be missed by all, but his love, stories, and unforgettable laughter will remain with us for eternity.
