Larry Davis Obituary

Larry Wilburn Davis, 72, of Hillsville, Virginia went to his eternal home on Saturday, July 4, 2020. His kindness, giant smile, and strong faith made him many friends along life's journey.

Larry was a member of Mt. Lebanon Primitive Baptist Church where he served as a deacon. He joined the church at age 15 after an experience of grace at Mt. Carmel Primitive Baptist Church in Bel Air, Maryland. Attending church and traveling to special services was a blessing all his life.

Born and raised in Maryland, Larry graduated from Hereford High School in Parkton, Maryland. Larry proudly served his country in the Air Force, including a year in Vietnam. He later lived in Bristol, Chilhowie, Roanoke, and Hillsville after a career with Lowe's Home Improvement.

Son of the late Howard Melvin Davis, Sr., and Sibyl Louise Walton Davis, Larry is survived by his loving wife, Margaret and their three children, Karen Kite (Bill), Joseph Davis (Angie), and Emily Norman (Phil). Larry was a loving grandfather to Ali, Bryce, Hunter, Abby, Hannah, Sarah, and Davis. He is also survived by his siblings, Leonard Davis, Howard Davis, John Davis, and Susie Taylor, as well as special mother-in-law June Wright Fields, sister-in-law Loretta Wise, brothers-in-law: Jim Wright and Steve Wright. Numerous nieces, nephews and cousins also survive. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by father-in-law James (Sonny) Wright and sisters-in-law Barbara Hubble and Rebecca Davis.

A special thank you to Southwest Virginia Home Health and Mountain Valley Hospice for their care and compassion.

Dear Margaret, Karen, Joseph and Emily,

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Brother Larry.

He was always so kind to our family.

Many good memories worshipping the Lord together at Mt. Olive Primitive Baptist Church in Roanoke.

His true testimony of Christianity has been a blessing to everyone who crossed his path.

May God comfort you at this time of sorrow.

Margaret, I am very sad to hear of your loss. Seeing you both at Pulaski Primitive Baptist Church walking in with smiles and enjoying the services was always a joy to my heart. He loved to sing and greet everyone. And there you were always looking so pretty by his side. Maybe we will get together again. Love, prayers, and blessings, Marie

Larry will always be the Christian gentleman who manifested love, joy, long suffering, gentleness, goodness and faith...whenever I had the brief experiences of seeing him at Mt. Carmel. Together with his dear wife, he was so endeared to warmth and friendliness.

To learn of his difficulties was especially thought provoking to me, who like many a godly saint, was especially privileged to suffer with Him for a little while. The glory which followed must of been so much then sweeter when he opened his eyes to behold His Savior.

Praying for sister Margaret and all his family.
