Larry R. Thurman went to Rest with Jesus on March 14, 2025, at the age of 66 in Hot Springs, AR.

Larry was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Pauline and Leon Thurman, brothers Ray and  James Thurman, and his cousin Donald R. Holland, with whom he had a special bond and who was always there to support him and his family in many ways.

Larry is survived by his many cousins, Pat Tackett, Linda, Shon Holland, Robin Walker, special caregivers Trent and Candace Young, along his special friends and employers for over 20 years, Robert and Debbie Jones, as a lawnman. At 17, he was employed by the Richard (deceased) Coleman family and was crazy about his friends/sisters, Jenny Dever and Emily Pratt.

Larry, despite only having a sixth-grade education, was as sharp as a tack. He was blessed to make many friends all over Hot Springs, especially at McDonald's and Wal-Mart. Larry loved the Lord and attended The Master's House on Main St. with his special friends and his Pastors, Steve and Debbie Doughman, who took him in as one of their own. The family greatly appreciated this.

Larry will always be remembered for his kindness, his blue eyes that crinkled when he smiled, and his sharp wit that would always endear him to others.

Thank you to all of The Springs on Park residents and staff, especially his driver Ernie, who befriended him and treated him with kindness as he was dealing with and trying to overcome many health issues.

"It is amazing how the simplest of people can leave such a lasting impression on this earth!"

A private memorial will be held at a later date.
