Lawrence "Larry" Lee Chestnutt, 72, of Currie passed from his earthly life on Sunday, October 2, 2016 at New Hanover Regional Medical center.

He was born October 3, 1943 in Duplin County, the son of the late William Earl and Mildred Elizabeth Rivenbark Chestnutt. Larry was also preceded in death by his son, Randy Chestnutt.

Larry is survived by his wife of 54 years, Judy Blanton Chestnutt; daughters, Kimberly Sue Newton and Tammy Lee Locke; grandchildren, Wesley Gore, Ashley Locke, and Lynsi Newton; brother, Danny Chestnutt (Norma); and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Larry was a devoted husband and loving daddy, granddaddy, brother and friend who took wonderfully good care of his family. Always enjoying the outdoors in God's beautiful woods, rivers and streams, he was an avid hunter and fisherman. Being blessed with a musical talent, Larry enjoyed singing along while playing his guitar. Cherished memories of Larry will forever remain in our hearts.

A memorial service to celebrate Larry's life and how he lived on this earth will be at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Long Creek Baptist Church with the Rev. Wayne Bateman officiating.
