Lawrence Lee Cropper

Obituary Lawrence Lee Cropper was born on November 25, 1958 in Westover, Maryland to Lorenzo Lawrence Cropper and Lena Mae (Richardson) Cropper. He passed away on Monday, October 7, 2024. Lawrence earned his diploma from Washington High School and then attended the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), both in Princess Anne, Maryland. He also attended The Glorious Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lawrence led a rich and adventurous life, with a expansive career and a colorful array of experiences. Following his high school graduation, he began working for Delmarva Power and also served in the United States Army. After discovering that driving trucks was his real passion, he went on to become an owner-operator for thirty-five (35) years. As a long distance truck driver, Lawrence traveled to multiple states and was known as “Showboat.” Lawrence met Candy in 1998 and they decided to become life partners in 2008. He retired with his wife, and they enjoyed cooking and playing cards every night before bed. He went along with his wife on realtor trips, which were deep in the woods and long distances. Just last week, he went house hunting with his daughter. Lawrence loved his family and dedicated his time and energy to helping his parents with whatever they wanted or needed. He loved his siblings and thought very highly of them. Joking around was one of Lawrence’s favorite pastimes. He never met a stranger without trying to befriend them. Lawrence leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife of sixteen (16) years, Candy, although they were together for twenty-eight (28) years and one daughter, Donyelle Bonner (Ronald); his parents, Lorenzo and Lena Cropper; eleven (11) siblings, Linda Alexander, Alexander Cropper (Miriam), Teresa Cropper-Cornish, Lena B. Cropper, Lorenzo R. Cropper (Melissa), Towanda Cropper, Jaqueta Cropper, Sabrina Cropper, Ronald Cropper (Bonetta), Jabez Cropper (Diana) and Indira Cropper. He also leaves behind nine-in-laws, Ronald Molock, Nathan Molock (Pauline), Olis Molock, Jr. (Mary), Donald Molock (Cookie), Larry Molock (Bonnie), Perry Molock (Tracey), Alexis Dashield (Keith), Thurma Perry and Spring Molock; two uncles and three aunts, Ephraim T. Goodman, Earl Richardson (Sheila), Arinthia Richardson and Doris Cropper and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by one sister, Connie and two brothers-in-law, William Cornish and Leon Alexander, father and mother-in-law, Olis, Sr. and Augusta Molock. SUBMITTED WITH LOVE ~ THE FAMILY
