Larry Young Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 15, 2025.
Larry is GREATLY missed!
He moved all the way to Richland, WA from St. Louis to marry his Jeannie. Larry was/is dearly loved by his wife. They were known around town as the cute older couple. Larry was accepted into Jeannie's family as if he has always been a part. Larry immediately became well regarded in the community for many things from his Electrical Technician skills to making and handing out sandwiches to the homeless on Sunday afternoons. There have been many a child and adult hearts changed with his talented puppet shows he performed in his local home church and in local elderly resident facilities. Larry's famous words, that showed the strong faith he walked in, were "God's got this!"

Larry was always an encouragement to people. A true treasure to his fellow Concordians. I look forward to seeing him on the other side.

Larry was a wonderful part oof our Concordia Wisconsin campus ministry and a joy always to see later on. The joy of Jesus always flowed from him.

I met Larry wayyyy back when during our Concordia College years. Such a funny, gentle man! We were blessed to live as an extended family after college and he became an "uncle" to my daughter, Briana, and godfather to Natalie. He sure loved those girls! He always fed them ice cream "on the sly". When Briana passed away unexpectedly he asked if he could make a Briana puppet to honor her feisty, cowgirl life.
We were so happy that he found love again with his Jeannie later in life. My love and condolences to Jeannie and the "kids". May his memory be a blessing.
