John Alan Lawson

Alan Lawson- Age 49, of Nashville, passed from this life on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at his residence.

He is preceded in death by his father, Charles E. Lawson, Sr.; two brothers, Charles E. Lawson, Jr. and Tony W. Lawson. Alan is survived by his mother, Judy A. Jones, and his brother, Terry L. Lawson; and a host of extended family members and friends.

Alan was a very caring person who would extend his hand to help anyone, even if he was struggling and in need of help himself. That is the kind of selfless person he was. He was the life of the party and was the type of person you just wanted to be around. He worked as a roofer for over 20 years. He was a loving uncle and loved to spend time in the outdoors, especially floating down the Harpeth.

Visitation with the Lawson family will be on Saturday, September 6th from 12PM until 2PM. The celebration of life will follow at 2PM, both at Western Hills Church, located at 7565 Charlotte Pike in West Nashville.
