Larry D. Petty entered his heavenly home on October 31, 2022, at his Jackson, TN residence surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 62.
Born on August 15, 1960, in Jackson, he was the son of Virginia Frances and the late Carl Petty. His career was as a machinist, retiring from Berry Plastics. He and his wife Gina were dedicated members of North Jackson Church of Christ, where they developed many lifelong friends.
Larry never met a stranger and was a friend to many. He loved all kinds of sports, from playing tennis, sharing a friendly game of pool, playing a round of golf at Woodland Hill Golf and Country Club, or gathering with a regular group of guys for a friendly game of Poker.
Family was everything to Larry and he was everything to them. Frequent weekend trips and long beach trips were always with family members.
