Larry Shelton Keech, Sr., affectionately known as "Honey," passed away on August 10, 2024, at the age of 84. Born on December 22, 1939, to Oscar and Ella Belle Keech, Larry's life was deeply rooted in love and devotion to his family. He was a loving husband to his spouse, Joyce Marshall Keech, and together they built a family filled with cherished memories and strong bonds. Larry's unwavering commitment to his family was evident in the deep relationships he cultivated with his children and grandchildren.
Larry is survived by his daughter, Daniele Thorwart, and her husband Sean, as well as their two children, Courtney Simone and Sean Thomas (affectionately known as Baby Sean). His son, Larry Keech Jr. (fondly known as Tuffy), and his wife Alison, along with their son Dakota Keech, and great-grandson Samuel Keech, also carry forward his legacy. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Ella Belle Keech, and his two sons, Toby and Tony Keech. His passing leaves a profound void in the lives of his loved ones, but his memory will continue to live on through the love and values he instilled in his family.
There will be an informal service on 08/16/2024 at 7:00pm at Hickory Ridge Community Church 3320 Battlefield Blvd South, Chesapeake, VA 23322
