Obituary of Larry Richards

Larry Richards, age 59, died of Glioblastoma on May 4, 2021, in Palm Bay Florida. He passed away in the presence of his family and his loving wife, who was by his side. He was diagnosed in January of 2020.

 

Larry was born on November 23, 1961 in Owensboro, Kentucky.  Larry, who we lovingly called Pop, enjoyed his coffee, sitting by the pool, attending to his plants and his beloved dogs, Abby and Tigger. He loved his wife and his family and was incredibly brave during his diagnosis and treatment. He showed us unbelievable strength. He was taken from us too soon and he will be forever missed and never forgotten.

 

A Celebration of Life is scheduled to celebrate Larry from 12:00 – 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 13th at Front Street Park and Civic Center 2205 Front Street in Melbourne, Florida.

 

All are welcome to attend to celebrate Larry’s life. Larry’s favorite color was orange. Please feel free to wear his favorite color, or grey to recognize the color for brain cancer.

 

The family would like to thank William Child's Hospice House for their amazing care they received during Larry's stay.  They would also like to thank Health First Hospice In Home Care.

 

The family would also like to request if you cannot be in attendance, please share a memory or card we can read at his Life Celebration.
