Lawrence Michael Archuleta

Born on July 22, 1975 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Larry (Veronica) Archuleta and Paula (Manuel) Robles. He spent most of his childhood and teen years in Salt Lake City, Utah before moving to Grand Junction, Colorado. LA was a guy known for his contagious smile and outgoing personality. He loved life and the people in it. Lawrence had a passion for helping anywhere he could and making sure anyone around him felt the power of his kind loving heart like occasionally dropping off flowers to his aunt Mariann. 

Being the life of the party you would find him dancing, singing, quoting movies and randomly giving nicknames to anyone. 

If you ever had the privilege of cruising with Lawrence in any type of weather; the windows were down, music blasting, arm out the window asking “you good?” 

HE WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED!

He is survived by his parents, his fiancé Yolanda.
