Lawrence Rainier Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Parsell Funeral Homes-Atkins-Lodge Chapel - Lewes on Jul. 12, 2025.
Lawrence "Larry" Rainier, 70, passed away surrounded by his loving wife and family on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, after a short illness. Born on May 24, 1955, in Trenton, New Jersey, Larry was the son of the late Jean Brenner and Eugene Cowell Rainier.
Larry went on to build a life filled with love, hard work, and dedication. He worked as a heating and air conditioning installer and later as an oil truck driver - careers that reflected his strong work ethic and hands-on nature. Larry married the love of his life, Robin Rainier, and together they built a beautiful family and a home filled with laughter and warmth. He had a passion for working on cars, trips to the casino, and playing cards. He especially loved going to the beach and fishing. Larry's grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of his life, and family gatherings brought him endless joy.
Larry is survived by his devoted wife, Robin Rainier, and their beloved children: Angela Barton, Amanda (Bruce) Powell, April (Dave) Blondin, and Charles (Allison) Rainier. He was a proud grandfather to Anthony, Jaden, Kylie, Ashley, Jake, Devon, Bella, and Gabbi, and a cherished great-grandfather to Izzy and Penelope.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at Lighthouse Baptist Church, 21265 John J Williams Highway, Lewes, Delaware. Family and friends are invited to a viewing from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Larry's memory to the Delaware Humane Society at https://www.humaneanimalpartners.org/.
FLORIST NOTE - PLEASE DELIVER ALL ARRANGEMENTS AT THE LEWES LOCATION ON TUESDAY JULY 15 BY 3 PM.

Larry and Robin lived next door to us for 24 years. They were great neighbors and friends. Larry was a great guy with a big heart who loved his wawa coffee. We will miss you Larry.
Love Jeff and Beth Davis

Robin and Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. It sure sounds like Larry was a loving, caring, husband. I am glad you had so many years together, and enjoyed your beautiful Family together.

You will all be in my prayers as you work through your grief. Remember, the love will never leave you.

I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts this week. God bless you all. God bless Larry. (I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but could tell that he treated you well, and that made me very happy for you.)

With love,

Sally Mellett Lajoie
