Larry Jene Eggleston

Larry was a great soldier for Our Lord, showing love and compassion to all as he carried on in his daily life. The love he had for his Lord was only surpassed by the love he had for his wife, Linda. This love was truly a love that most only dream of.

Larry spent his childhood in Prince George County, VA before moving to Hopewell, VA. After meeting and marrying Linda, he moved to Sandy Hook, VA.

Larry was an electrician by trade and a member of IBEW Chapter 666 of the electrician’s union. After retiring, he owned and operated Eggleston's Tree Service.

Larry was a lifelong power lifter. He competed and received many trophies, both local and worldwide. He taught weight lifting at Goochland High School.  He also judged competitions across the United States, most enjoyable, the Special Olympics.

Larry was an avid gardener, always giving away more than he kept.

Larry was a member of Ragland Memorial Baptist Church for ~30 years. Here he was a member of the choir and too many committees to list.

He participated in Carpenters for Christ, traveling to assist communities in need.

Larry’s death will be a great loss to his family, his church, the community and anyone who ever came in contact with him
