Larry E. Taylor, 80, of Terre Haute passed away Thursday June 10, 2021 in his home after a brief illness. He was born December 11, 1940 in Covington, Indiana to Lewis Marshall and Cecil Marie (Kirby) Taylor. Larry worked for Vectren Energy (Indiana Gas) for 38 years.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Gary Taylor and Denny Taylor. Larry embraced people with quietness of spirit. He had an uncanny ability to find common ground for all. His natural enjoyment of engaging with others made them feel accepted, connected, and no longer a stranger, but a friend. His unwavering gentle spirit and unconditional love was evident by his selfless actions, unrelenting and supportive words of guidance, and mentoring to his children and others. Larry’s integrity-filled character has left this impression on many hearts. For those whose lives he touched, it gives an incredible opportunity to honor his legacy by embodying those character traits in their own lives. Larry was a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church.
