Lawrence Whitney, 58, of Norwalk, CT—The community mourns the recent passing of Lawrence Whitney, a beloved husband, father, and friend. Lawrence, affectionately known as Larry, passed away on Friday, October 18, 2024, at Yale-New Haven. Born and raised in Norwalk, he was the cherished son of Patricia Butler Whitney and the late Richard Whitney.
Larry’s passing has left a profound impact on his family and friends. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Melissa (Bykowski) Whitney, and their son, Brandon Whitney. Larry is also survived by his sister Stacey Whitney, his brother-in-law Frank Chambers, and a close-knit group of nieces and nephews—Julia Santiago, Megan Chambers, Leo Chambers, Eddie Chambers, Emery Easton, Lennox Easton, and Presley Speight.
Known for his years of dedicated work at Interstate Lumber and his involvement in the bowling industry, Larry was an avid sports fan who found joy in activities like bowling, softball, and NASCAR. Beyond his career and hobbies, Larry’s warmth and humor were felt deeply by those who spent time with him, and his passion for sports and family created lasting memories.
The Whitney family has organized a gathering to honor Larry’s life, welcoming friends and family on Saturday, October 26, from 1-3 PM at Magner Funeral Home on Mott Avenue in Norwalk.
To support the Whitney family during this difficult time, Thalia Angeles has organized a fundraiser on behalf of Brandon Whitney. The fundraiser aims to assist with immediate expenses, with early support from friends like Jonathan Montenegro, who donated $50, and an anonymous donor contributing $20. The community’s contributions will help alleviate the family’s financial concerns, enabling them to focus on healing and remembrance.
Our hearts and prayers are with the Whitney family as they navigate this time of grief. May Larry’s memory be a source of strength and comfort to all who knew him.
