Michael John Lawson, 68, of Port St. Lucie passed away Tuesday, April 12, 2022.

Michael was born July 7, 1953 in Pontiac Michigan to Clifford John Lawson and Mae Agnes Robillard. He had been a full-time resident of Port St. Lucie for 13 years after many years dividing his time between Michigan and Florida.

Prior to his retirement he worked as a Water Treatment Manager for Palm Beach County for two decades.

Michael had a passion for classic cars. Preferably a Chevy Corvair or Chevelle. He loved making the annual trips to Detroit to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise. Attendees from far and wide would travel to show off their automotive masterpieces. There, Michael would marvel at some of the most impressive modern and classic cars, motorcycles and trucks that ever drove the Motor City streets. In addition to cars, Michael was a sports fan. While he enjoyed most sports his favorite, without question, was baseball. Staying true to his Michigan roots, he was an avid Detroit Tigers fan.

He was preceded in death by his wife of over 10 years, Shelly; father, Clifford John Lawson; mother, Mae Agnes Busch and sister, Michele Luisi.

Survivors include his sister, Beverly Beaufait and her husband, Richard of Louisville, Colorado; nieces, Celeste Marie Beaufait of Eerie, Colorado and Erica Mason of Iowa City, Iowa; many close friends and his beloved Chiweenie, Gracy.
