Fawson, Lindsey Rae Lindsey Rae Fawson (Linz) (Poopers) Lindsey died tragically at the age of 22 Monday, May 16, 2005 following a senseless act of violence. She was born Friday, August 27, 1982 in Salt Lake City. In the short years she spent on this earth she has accomplished a great deal. She gave life to two precious and darling spirits that will carry her love and memory throughout their lives. She was an accomplished saxophone player through her school years. Lindsey possessed a great love for animals. She loved to care for them, no matter the species, she had to have one or two or three (No More!!!). If we didn't know her better you'd think she was related to Noah of Biblical times, and would have thought her home was the Ark. She had a gift with animals, she even taught her dog, "Athena" to skate board. Lindsey loved to snowboard with her family, and persuaded her younger sister, Chelsea, to change venues from snow skiing to snowboarding after Chelsea's father outfitted her with skis. Chelsea's father was not happy. Lindsey has touched many hearts and now that she is gone the emptiness we feel without her will need to be filled with what she has left behind. Lindsey leaves us with many special memories and her life she has shared with us is invaluable and irreplaceable. Her special spirit will now be able to be shared with others that did not know her up in heaven. When you look at her picture it is apparent the genuineness of her person and of her spirit. Her smile along with the sparkle of her eyes showed us the kind of person she was. When she was a little girl, she had freckles all over her face, and her mother told her that these were angel kisses. The angels did bless her with a gift, and that gift she truly shared with all of us whether she knew it or not. She possessed a heart of gold. She truly cared how other people felt, and offered her help selflessly on many occasions. What may have been reported may not have been the actual case. She was a loving, caring person and the memories of our precious Lindsey will live on in every one who has been a part of her life. She is survived by her two sons, Terrance Alyjah and Thomas Izayah Fawson; father, Brent R. Fawson; mother, Tessie Lee (Robert) Seneca; grandparents, George and Arlene Fawson; nephews, Taylor Joseph and Curtis James Loftus, Cannon Austin and Kaiden William Fawson; sisters, Stacey Joy Fawson, Nichole L. (Joseph) Loftus; step-sisters and brother, Natalie, Chelsea and Wayne Seneca. Lindsey is preceded in death by grandparents, Kenneth W. and Eura J. Shields; and an aunt, Betty J. Densley Tribute services will be held Tuesday, May 24, 2005, 11:00 a.m. at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Pkwy, (10600 So.) where family and friends may visit Monday from 6-9 p.m. and Tuesday 9:30-10:30 a.m. Interment, Redwood Memorial.
