Larry D. Mollett, 79, of Danville, Illinois, drew his last breath on earth and his first breath in Heaven at 3:58pm, Monday, December 30, 2019 at OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center, Danville.
He was born on August 17, 1940 in Danville, the son of Eugene and Elsie {Blakeney} Mollett, both deceased. He was married to Leah Pearl Kirchner on March 11, 1997 until her passing on April 26, 2018.
Larry is survived by his son, Jeff Mollett of Salina, Kansas; his daughter, Kim Lape of Catlin; his stepchildren, Darrell (Linda) Rankins Jr. of Alabama and Penny (John) Higgins of Danville. his sister, Nancy BurtBrown of Catlin; his grandchildren, Ryan, Tyler, Emili, Lindsey, Jason, Dawn, Joshua, Deanna, Joshua, Jon, David, Ellen, Seth, Gavin, Ethan, and Elizabeth; his eight great grandchildren and his very special nieces and nephews.
He was also preceded in death by his daughter, Kristi Cobble; his brothers, Eugene Jr. and William Duane and his sisters, Marge, Carole, and Phyllis.
Larry was a carpenter for many years and later became the business agent for the Local Carpenters Union Local 269 which led him to work for the International Carpenters Union. He recently received his 50-year member plaque to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. He never met a stranger and loved to talk to people and get to know them. He was Christian and loved God. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan but was also a huge fan of all sports. Larry’s presence on earth was larger than life and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
