Lawrence "Larry" Anthony Rothrock

Lawrence "Larry" Anthony Rothrock, aged 82, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2026. Born on August 29, 1943, in Princeton, Indiana, he was the cherished son of the late Claude Burtis and Helen Louise Rothrock.

A proud veteran, Larry honorably served four years in the United States Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation during the Vietnam War. His time in the service fostered a lifelong spirit of dedication and community.

Larry believed deeply in helping his fellow man, a guiding principle he put into action throughout his life. Whether through charitable giving, personal service, or his professional dedication to the planning and management of affordable housing in the numerous communities where he lived, Larry left a lasting, positive impact on the lives of many.

On May 28, 1970, Larry married the love of his life, Donna June Rothrock. Together, they built a beautiful, adventure-filled life. Larry and Donna shared a deep passion for travel, exploring the United States extensively and journeying across the globe to visit numerous different countries together.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Donna June; his mother, Helen Louise; his father, Claude Burtis; and his stepmother, Donna Rothrock.

Larry's legacy lives on through his family. He is succeeded by his only daughter, Dai McWhorter; his two grandsons, Connor and Camden McWhorter; and his two half-brothers, Timothy Rothrock and Patrick Rothrock. He brought immense joy, pride, and love to all of their lives.

A small family memorial service will be held at a later date. Larry will be laid to rest next to his beloved bride, Donna June, at St Mary’s Cemetery in Mt. Carmel, Illinois. Arrangements are by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Directors.
