He was born January 29, 1938 in Chillicothe to the late Herbert and Caroline Schrader. On October 3, 1959 he married Dessie Mae Jones, who survives. The two called each other, and were known by all as Mother & Father.

He was preceded in death by a brother, Herbert Lawhorn; and a sister, Helena Brown.
Mr. Lawhorn retired from Chilpaco, after 32 years, as a foreman, but was probably best known as the "BTV Man." He was a former EMT-Advanced, serving with the Franklin Twp. Fire Department and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and bowling.
