Larry Keith Erwin, 53, of Rockwall, Texas, passed away on July 19, 2024, in a tragic rafting accident in a remote area of Western Alaska. Larry’s untimely death has left his family and community in deep sorrow.
Larry grew up in Cabot, Arkansas, before moving to Texas, where he began a lifelong career at Dr. Pepper. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend, known for his strong faith and adventurous spirit. Larry lived a life full of love, laughter, and adventure, pouring his energy into the lives of many scouts from Troop 421. He was always teaching, encouraging, and learning alongside them. His adventurous spirit led him to explore new places and experiences, always seeking to make the most of every moment. A trip to Alaska had always been one of his dreams.
Larry’s devoted wife of 27 years and their 19-year-old son, who is starting his second year of college, are now left in a difficult financial situation due to the long wait for a Certificate of Death from the State of Alaska. This delay has exacerbated their financial struggles, as Larry’s wife suffers from several debilitating health conditions that prevent her from continuing her career as a science teacher.
The community has rallied to support Larry’s family during this challenging time. Calvin Erwin has organized a fundraiser titled "Help Larry Erwin’s Family Through This Tragedy" with a goal of $15,000 to help cover the mortgage, health insurance, utilities, groceries, and other everyday expenses. Despite the overwhelming love and support, they have yet to receive any donations, making their situation even more precarious.
Larry’s love and contributions to his family and community will be remembered fondly. His legacy of faith, love, and adventure will live on in the hearts of those he touched. The community’s support is crucial to help his family navigate this difficult period.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Larry Keith Erwin’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
