Mr. Edwards was preceded in death by his father, Floyd Eugene Edwards and Mary Taylor Gattis Edwards; and brothers, Ricky Edwards and Chris Edwards.
Larry, known by most as Big E, was a devoted spouse, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. From an early age, he began his career as a third-generation logger following in his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps. He had a passion for his time in the mountains and preferred to be there when not surrounded by his family and friends. He persevered throughout his illness and spent many hours working in the mountains he loved so much.
The family would like to thank Dr. Ingrid Roig, Dr. Saketh Palasamudram Shekar, Dr. Paul Dang, Dr. Tres Childs and the staff of Clearview Cancer Institute, Crestwood Hospital, and the Alliance Cancer Center for the excellent care provided during Larry’s illness.
