Godlien, Lawrence Kenneth
Lawrence Kenneth Godlien “Bones” passed away Thursday, October 14, 2021, after a long battle with Huntington’s disease.
Lawrence was born on August 6, 1965, in Kamloops, BC. His family moved to the Valley in 1970. Bones grew up in Wilmer, BC, a town he loved and never left. He went to high school at DTSS, where he met his love, LeeAnne, they married in 1990. In 1992 they welcomed their daughter Jessica and shortly after built their house in Wilmer, BC.
Bones had passion for fast cars, rock n’ roll, burnouts, making people laugh, and his family/friends. He was loyal, kind, and wild. He went through life with an ‘it’s minor’ attitude and made lifelong friends everywhere he went. He will be remembered for his kind heart, contagious smile, his entertaining stories, and his famous ‘whoop whoop’. Bones was one of a kind, a true local legend, and will be missed by everyone he touched.
He leaves behind by his mother Pat Godlien, his father Eric Godlien, his wife LeeAnne Godlien, daughter Jessica Godlien, his brother Micky (Teena) Godlien, his niece Rachael Godlien and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Columbia House, the Hospice Society, Dr. Shannon Page, Vivian Bond, as well as the nurses, care workers, and support staff for their wonderful care over the last 12 years. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Huntington’s society.
