Laurence is survived by his wife Marcy Mack; his daughter Jennifer (Curtis) Skelton; son John Mack and his girlfriend Amanda Dusek; daughter Jessica (Jason) Lesker; his grandchildren Devan, Kendra, Kylee, and Kierstyn Skelton, Trevor Mack, Xander, Ashton, and Grayson Lesker; and his great-grandson Owsley Flatt; his stepchildren, Derek Williams, Stacie (Bo) Alsup, and Megan (Dex) Hardy; and his stepgrandchildren, Mackenzie McClain, Kayla and Gabriel Williams, Andi Rae Alsup, Tucker Morgan and Dayton Hardy.
