 LYONS FALLS- Lawrence J.
Mathis, endearingly known as Babe and Ivan, 71, of Lyonsdale Road, passed
away surrounded by family on Wednesday, December 27, 2023

In

Funeral Home, Inc., Lowville.
Lawrence is
survived by his beloved wife of 36 years Jan; three children, Liz (Scott)
Newvine and their children, Payton and Avery of Port Leyden; Tiffany
(Brandon) Peery and their children, Loren and Lucia of Valley City, Ohio,
Hunter Mathis at home in Lyons Falls; his siblings, Donna Mathis of

Peter (Sherry) Mathis of Lyons Falls, David Mathis of Temperanceville, VA;
several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is predeceased by a sister-in-law,

Lawrence was born
on June 10, 1952 in Constableville, NY, a son of
the late Donald and Mary Hoffman Mathis. He graduated from South
Lewis Central School in 1970 and attended Mohawk Valley Community College.
Lawrence worked various jobs in carpentry and construction for many years
until he was injured and retired due to that injury. In his
retirement, he continued his love of art and drawing and spent more time on
his Beatles artwork. He enjoyed hunting, Star Trek, playing cards and
horseshoes with his friends, watching Old Western television-especially
Bonanza and Gunsmoke, and four time Super Bowl
Winning team the New York Giants. Most of all, he was happiest being at
home with his family.
