Larry G. Taylor, Sr.

Larry G. Taylor, Sr. age 82, passed away Sunday, October 26, 2025 at his residence surrounded by his loving family.

After growing up in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina he moved to Atlanta and started driving tractor trailers. He was a career truck driver with over 35 years of safe driving.

It was after a move to Fayetteville that he met the love of his life, Barbara. After a short courtship, he was able to marry and remained so for over 44 years. They made their home in Glennville in 2013.

As a husband and father, he raised 3 kids and took care of his elderly mother. If nothing else, Larry was the definition of a family man, husband, father and provider.

Larry was an avid football and drag racing fan. He attended the drag races as often as possible to root on family and friends.

With a heart of gold and a soul even Jesus could not wait any longer to call home. He will truly be missed by everyone who had the privilege to get to know him.
