Larry Dale Bice

Larry Dale Bice, age 70, of Brierfield, AL, passed away from his temporal home to enter his eternal home on Friday, August 22, 2025, with his family by his side. Raised with values that run deep, Larry brought those principles into every aspect of his life. He was long time a member of Aldrich Assembly of God. He worked with the determination and toughness of a coal miner - because he was one. That life shaped him: strong hands, a strong back, and an even stronger spirit. He knew what it meant to put in long hours, face the darkness, and come out with dignity and pride. It wasn't just a job; it was a way of life that demanded courage, resilience, and relentless effort - qualities Larry had in abundance.
Larry Bice was the embodiment of hard work and grit - a man forged by faith, family, and an unshakable work ethic. Larry's life tells the story of someone who never backed down from a challenge, never gave up when things got hard, and never quit until the job was done.
Larry was strong, not just in will, but in character. Beyond his physical strength was a deeper strength - rooted in Christ. Larry was a man of faith who didn't just talk about the Word, he lived it. He led by example, with humility and integrity. He gave from the heart, never for recognition, and always with sincerity. Whether helping a neighbor, guiding his children, or standing by his wife, Larry's actions reflected a servant's heart.
Larry was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grand / great grandfather and loyal brother. He did not just speak of his beliefs; he lived them, allowing the Word of God to guide him each and every day.
As a husband Larry led with love and respect, always putting his family first. As a father and grandfather, he was a protector, provider and a role model, offering wisdom, encouragement, and unconditional love. He cherished every moment with his wife, children, and grandchildren. As a brother, he stood as a steadfast presence - always reliable and supportive. He always seemed to show up, right on time with a willing and helping hand.
He led by example - steady, consistent, and humble - embodying the quiet power of a man who knew who he was in Christ. Those who knew Larry Bice could see in him the true meaning of servant leadership, a life marked by integrity, compassion. His faith was genuine, grounded in humility and expressed through quiet strength and unwavering commitment.
Dependable, generous, and grounded, Larry Bice left a legacy of hard work, unwavering faith, and love that never wavered. To know him was to know a man who gave his all - to his family, his work, and his God - and never once asked for anything in return.
Two things that he always instilled in his children's hearts & minds were "Blessed are the Peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9) & "In order to have friends, you must first show yourself friendly!" (Proverbs 18:24) and because of him, we carry those values forward, living not just in his memory, but in his example.
He is preceded in death by loving wife, Mary Lee Bice; parents, Ray Bice and Sara Nell Bice Hayes; sister Sandra Bice Thrash; and brother, Randy Bice. Larry is survived by his daughter, Treasure Marie Bice; sons, Jeffrey Dale Bice (Tiffany) and Shannon Lee Bice (Brandy); brothers, Donald Bice (Janice), Terry Bice (Tammy), and Mark Bice (Shirley); grandchildren, Tyler Butler (Chelsie), Trent Butler (Rebeca), Cole Bice (Emily), Trey Butler, Hunter Bice and Joshua Bice; great grandchildren Elodie Rae, Xyair, Issac and Cooper; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Services for Mr. Bice will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 2 p.m. at his church, Aldrich Assembly of God, with Rev.'s Jerry Phillips and David Roper. His visitation will be held one hour prior to his service. He will be laid to rest alongside his wife in Ashby Cemetery in Brierfield. Charter Funeral Home in Calera will be handling his arrangements.
