Lawrence "Larry" Miller, 85, of Lecanto FL peacefully passed away and entered the gates of heaven on April 29, 2025. Born on August 6, 1939, in Ramsey Illinois, Larry lived a full and joyful life marked by love, laughter, and meaningful connections.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents Leonard and Regina Miller, his brother Joe Miller, and his beloved son Terry Dean Miller. He is survived by his devoted wife Jan Miller, his son Barry Lee Miller and daughter-in-law Kelly, and his sister Marilyn Yakel. Larry was a proud grandfather to Zack Miller (Kristina), Paige Garrison (Jeff), Paityn Draege (Colton), and Lukas Miller. His legacy continues in his cherished great-grandchildren Emerson Miller and Weston Garrison, and his beloved nephews and nieces.
After graduating from high school in Brownstown Illinois in 1957, Larry dedicated over 30 years of service to Yellow Freight before retiring. He eventually settled in Florida where he met the love of his life, Jan. He enjoyed his passion for golf, fishing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
Known for his radiant smile, striking blue eyes, and warm, outgoing personality, Larry brought joy to everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, June 28, 2025 at Liberty Cemetery, rural Brownstown. A luncheon will follow in the Fellowship Hall at Liberty Christian Church.
