I was honored to call him friend. His influence helped guide me to become the servant of Christ I am today. Praying Lyndra and the kids.
I could never put in words what this man and his wife meant to me as a youth. Hard times in my life were upon me, things that he understood well because he didn’t have a picture perfect youth. I am forever grateful that God blessed me with his guidance and friendship for so many years. Thank you Larry for loving me despite the mess.
Larry, William and I attended Ouachita Baptist University. Although it was William ( my husband) that really knew Larry best, everyone knew Larry loved Jesus and wanted others to know how much Jesus loved them. Well done good and faithful servant.
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Larry.
I’ve known my Bro Larry since at least 4th grade. When the Munnerlyn family adopted him we grew up riding bicycles together Larry, David, Eddie Williams, Don Moore (my little brother) and myself. Larry is a Great Man of God and will surely be missed. Lynn Moore

Larry: You and Lyndra were dear friends and you encouraged so many people including me. I know you helped so many people to understand about God’s love for people and that Jesus is God’s plan for getting us to Heaven. Thanks for being there for me since High School. Knowing you, the Munnerlyn family, and Berea Baptist Church has been a big influence in my life. I am sorry I could not attend your funeral in person. But I am glad that I got so see you and Lyndra a few times in recent years though we live far apart. Giovanna and I love you and Lyndra very much, and we will pray for Lyndra in days to come.
