Larry was born on June 10, 1953, in St. Martinville. Throughout his life, Larry found joy in the simple pleasures of duck hunting, fishing, and spending time at his camp in the basin. His passion for the outdoors was only matched by his commitment to serving his country, having honorably served in the National Guard.

He leaves behind a legacy of dedication and hard work that will forever be cherished by his family and community.

Champagne); grandchildren, Taylor Clark (Aaron), Carlie Bourque (Cullen), Tyler Champagne, Paris Champagne; step grandchildren, Anthony Salvador Melancon, III and Kelsi Guilbeau; great-grandchildren, Isabelle Clark, Charli Clark and Miller Broussard; step great-grandchildren, Jaxon Guilbeau and Millie Guilbeau; and one sister, Lucille Theriot.
