Larry Hauner Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud U.S. Army veteran, Larry dedicated his life to serving others. As a social worker for the Veterans Administration, he provided invaluable support to those who had served their country, demonstrating compassion and commitment in everything he did. Working with his Veteran patients meant the world to him. Larry held a Master's Degree, reflecting his commitment to education and personal growth.
Larry was not only a dedicated professional but also a passionate golfer, known for his excellent skills on the course. His play earned him a full scholarship to Purdue University. In addition to his athletic pursuits, he was a talented musician, expressing his love for rock and blues music through singing and songwriting. His guitar often accompanied him, bringing joy to friends and family alike.
He was preceded in death by his parents Charles Ronald Hauner and Velma May Hauner, and sister Sharon McCray. Larry was the devoted husband of Deeanna Hauner, with whom he shared a beautiful journey of 32 years. Together, they navigated life's ups and downs, creating lasting memories filled with love and laughter. He is also survived by his son Jacob Hauner, daughter Katelyn Hauner, and niece Stacy Hauner.
In honoring Larry's wishes, a graveside service will be held for him at Ohio Western Reserve Cemetery on March 19, 2025, at 12:45 PM with full military honors.
The family invites those who knew Larry to celebrate his unforgettable spirit in their hearts. His legacy of kindness, music, and dedication to service will continue to inspire all who loved him.
Rest in peace, Larry Ray Hauner. You will be missed, but the memories you created will live on forever.

He was my counselor at the VA. So great to talk to. Sometimes, when I had an appointment, I would just stop by to say hello. I will miss him dearly and he will always be thought of. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Rest in peace Mr Hauner, thank you for your service. I really connected with and trusted Larry as a counselor. I felt deep trust in him relating to me as an Afghan and Iraq vet with his Vietnam service.

My deepest sympathy to Larry's dear ones. His care of me at the VA exemplified the love that he had for his job and his clients. He was one of those among many from my care team who helped to drag me out of the past and its unpleasant memories and behaviors into what is still developing to be a new and better me. The memories of his heartfelt concern and helpful advice, his empathetic ability to key in on my overseas experiences, and helpful advice will remain with me always, and continues to be the foundation upon which I continue to build. He is truly missed.

Larry will be by so many people from the VA Drs nurses and patients and many others who work there. I met Larry in the VVA SHARON LANE CHAPTER many years ago by my good friend Mark Kerr who also passed recently . I will miss Larry and I will be praying for his family. Larry was a very special person who helped many Vets in Vietnam and at the VA CLINIC IN Canton,Ohio. We all will miss you Larry RIP and I will be praying for comfort and peace for your family.
