HEADLAND, ALABAMA — Larry Virgil Savelle, a man of steadfast faith and a beloved member of the Headland community, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday morning, February 2, 2026. He was 67 years old.

Larry was born on December 15, 1958, to Virgil “Junior” and Rebecca Savelle. He lived a life defined by quiet strength, hard work, and unwavering devotion to his family and neighbors. Larry was a dedicated employee of the Auburn University Experiment Station, where he faithfully contributed his talents and labor until his retirement.

Larry’s life was firmly rooted in his faith. As an active deacon and long-time member of Hebron Baptist Church, he lived out his beliefs through service to others. He will be remembered not only for his commitment to his church family, but also for the joy and love he extended to everyone who crossed his path.

Larry’s greatest joy was found in his family.
