Larry Steven Canter

Larry Steven Canter of Aquasco, Maryland, passed away peacefully at home on March 9, 2026, at the age of 63. Born on July 7, 1962, in La Plata, Maryland, he was the son of Richard Allison Canter Sr. and the late Ann E. DeMarr Canter. In addition to his mother, Larry was preceded in death by his step-grandson, Dylan J. Raymond.

Larry is survived by his loving wife, Betty A. Canter, and a large and devoted family. He is survived by his children, Ann Jenkins (Cliff) and Larry S. Canter Jr. (Alicia); stepchildren, James D. Kirby (Jill) and Wendy A. Garner; his brother, Richard A. Canter Jr. (Jan); and his sister, Lisa Cooper. He is also survived by his loving nieces and nephews.

He also leaves behind cherished grandchildren Benjamin, Harold, John (Nolan), Elizabeth, Mary Beth, and Seth (Canter); step-grandsons Garrett Raymond, Dean, and Shane (Kirby); and step-great-grandchildren Emersyn, Carter, and Parker Raymond.

Larry met Betty A. Langley in 1993, and the two were married on July 20, 2012, sharing many happy years together.

Larry dedicated 33 years of service to Fleet Maintenance with the Prince George's County Board of Education before retiring in 2013. Mechanically gifted from a young age, he was known for his remarkable ability to repair just about anything.

Outside of work, Larry had a lifelong passion for vintage cars and trucks. He also found great joy in the simple pleasures of life-riding his motorcycle, camping, dancing, and proudly cheering on his grandsons at their baseball games.

Pallbearers will be James D. Kirby, Garrett Raymond, Dean Kirby, Shane Kirby, Richard Canter Jr., and Stephen Hoffman.
