Larry Huennekens Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 8, 2025.
Ocala - Larry "Mr. Larry" Huennekens, 85, died on March 26, 2025, in Ocala, Florida. Born on January 3, 1940, in Wynot, Nebraska, Larry lived a full and vibrant life marked by dedication to his work, deep love for his family, and an unwaveringly positive spirit.

Larry shared 62 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Cathy Huennekens. Together they built a loving family that was the center of his world. He is lovingly remembered by his son Brad and daughter-in-law Susan Huennekens; daughter Jill and son-in-law Rob Morningstar; and his cherished grandchildren: Emma and her husband Adam Reardon; Sarah Morningstar (soon to be married to Quinn Kurka); Max Morningstar; Mitchell Huennekens and his wife Amy; and Blake Huennekens.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, April 25, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, located at 800 SE 41st Avenue in Ocala, Florida.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in memory of "Mr. Larry" to St. Paul's United Methodist Church-a place that meant so much to him and where he gave so much of himself.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

The Huennekens were our long-time neighbors on 38th Avenue, and we could not have asked for better ones. Mr. Larry was such a good man who will be missed by the many people who were blessed to have him in their lives. My condolences to Mrs. Cathy, Brad, Jill, and the entire family. With Love, Eddie
