It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that we gather to honor the life of Lawson Blevins, a young soul whose untimely passing has left an indelible void in the hearts of all who knew him. Lawson, only 17 years old, tragically lost his life in a car accident, a loss that has reverberated throughout the New Bern community, his school, and the many lives he touched in his short but meaningful time here.
His departure has left us speechless, unable to grasp the reality of a world without his vibrant presence. As we navigate this profound grief, we find solace in remembering the life of a young man full of promise, joy, and love. Lawson was, without a doubt, a bright light in the lives of his friends, family, and classmates at West Craven High School. His infectious smile and positive spirit were an inspiration to all who knew him. Lawson’s impact was felt not just through his words but through his actions. He embodied the values of kindness, compassion, and camaraderie.
Whether it was a shared laugh with friends, helping others, or simply showing up as a steadfast presence in the lives of those who cared for him, Lawson had a way of making everyone feel special. It is impossible to overstate the impact Lawson had on his friends and family, especially those closest to him. His cousin, best friend, and brother, Brady Sutton, shared some heartfelt words that have resonated deeply within our hearts. In an emotional tribute, Brady expressed the pain of losing a friend and family member who was so integral to his daily life:
“Lawson Blevins to a cousin, best friend, and brother we lost this morning, I just wanted to say a few things, I’m gonna miss you like crazy, things aren’t gonna be the same without you around here, man. I still remember the days where we’d had enough of school and go grab some food and hit the fishing spot, to the good buddy I’d cut up with in class, and the Dunkin’ Donuts run we’d do with mama, the news delivered this morning left me without words. I hope you enjoy it up there and know you’ll always be remembered down here.”
Brady’s words capture the essence of Lawson—a loyal friend, a cherished family member, and someone who made everyday moments unforgettable. From the simple joy of grabbing food and heading to the fishing spot, to the familiar, comforting routines like Dunkin’ Donuts runs with loved ones, Lawson lived life with an appreciation for the small things that bring joy and connection. It is these shared experiences, these moments of laughter and togetherness, that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were privileged to know him.
