Zenon Lauras

Zenon Lauras (Zenonas Laurinavicius) Born in Šiauliai, Lithuania July 9, 1957 - May 18, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Zenon Lauras, a beloved father, husband, brother, friend, and kind hearted soul. Zenon was a man of deep integrity, warmth, and generosity. Known for his deep love for his family and his unwavering kindness to those around him.

Zenon dedicated his life to working with cars, first as a mechanic and later as a skilled diesel mechanic. His passion for vehicles was unmatched, and he had an innate understanding of how they worked. In addition to his career, he found so much joy in riding motorcycles, tending to his home with outdoor projects, and shooting firearms while appreciating their craftsmanship.

Zenon's greatest love, however, was his daughters. He was a devoted father to his four daughters: Zenona Laurinaviciute, Kristina Laurinaviciute (who passed away in childhood), Viktorija Laurinaviciute, and Elizabeth Lauras. His daughters meant everything to him, and he was an exceptional father; playing, reading, and taking them on adventures whenever he could. He was the kindest man with the biggest heart. He had an incredible sense of humor, making those around him laugh with his quick wit and playful spirit.

Tragically, Zenon passed while doing what he loved. He was riding his motorcycle alongside his crew, celebrating the opening of the season. Though his loss leaves an immense void, his memory will forever be carried by those who loved him.

He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, and love that will never be forgotten. He will be missed deeply by his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.
