Larry was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was baptized in Christ on March 31, 1968, at St. John Lutheran Church in Adair, Iowa, and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church on April 4, 1982. Larry received his education in the Denison Community Schools graduating with the class of 1986. He furthered his education at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, graduating in May of 1991. While still in college, Larry worked part-time for the Iowa Department of Transportation. After graduation he continued to work for the DOT until he became employed full-time in December of 1993. He first worked as a Right-of-Way Agent in Advertising. In March of 1999 he transferred to the Appraisal Section and earned his Certified General Appraiser's license in November 1999 and remained in that Section also becoming a Right-Of-Way Agent 3.

Larry spent as much time as he could with his family and friends and enjoyed playing cards together or taking family vacations to Branson and Minnesota. He was very fond of his nephews and nieces and loved to tease them. His heart never left Denison and he came home every weekend to the farm where he and his brothers kept busy raising exotic pheasants and quail to sell. Larry enjoyed cooking, especially pheasant, goose and duck dishes. Other activities Larry occupied his spare time with included camping, hunting and fishing, and restoring Model A's. Larry was handy and enjoyed woodworking. True to his alma mater, Larry closely followed Iowa State football and basketball games. He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Denison, Iowa.

Larry was preceded in death by his father, Jerry in 2009; his grandparents, Raymond and Leona, Lawrence and Gladys; and three uncles: Clark, Gail and Dallas. Survivors include his mother, Shirley; two brothers: Jeff; Jason and his wife, Jean; and three sisters: Lori and her husband, Mike; Kristi and her husband, Tim; Staci and her husband, Jim; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

David Sewing officiated the service and graveside rites held at Crawford Heights Memory Gardens, Garden of Ascension, in Denison. Organist Jeanette Venzke provided accompaniment for Soloist Larry Boeck as he sang "On Eagles' Wings," and congregational hymns, "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," and "I Know That My Redeemer Lives."
