White River Jct., VT - Heith Joseph Lashway, 36, died suddenly Saturday May 21, 2016 at home in White River Jct.

Heith started making trouble on April 9, 1980 in Hanover, NH, where he was born to Brian and Susan (Smith) Lashway. He first started school in Ellenburg, NY and later attended the Hartford School District. He had been self employed for many years and always took great pride in his craftsmanship. Best known for his flooring, he was also just as skilled in many other trades including carpentry and roofing. He worked hard and played hard with those he loved. He had a great appreciation for home cooked food. He loved fishing with his son Daygon, being on his boat, relaxing by a campfire, or playing softball on the family team.

Heith was a man of many talents with an infectious laugh. He was a proud father, a caring son, a brave older brother, and a devoted friend. Heith brought energy and life to everywhere he went and was truly one of a kind.

Heith is survived by his beloved son, Daygon, his parents, Brian and Susan Lashway of White River Jct.; his grandmother, Elnora Smith of Ellenburg, NY; his sisters, Hillerie Coutermarsh of Weathersfield, VT and Hope Scelza and husband Ryan of Quechee, VT, a nephew Breckin Rogstad and niece Braylin Coutermarsh, as well as many special aunts, uncles, and cousins. He loved and was loved by many, and will be deeply missed.
