He was a caring father and grandfather who loved his family and would do anything for any one of them. He loved the Lord and instilled his faith in his family.

Those who were fortunate enough to know Larry knew that his life passions were his family and his guitars. He could often be found in his guitar room perfecting his craft. He played rhythm guitar for the contemporary Christian band, Crossfire. When he wasn’t learning more about his music, he enjoyed motorcycles, fast cars, and taking trips to Colorado.

After falling in love and marrying Brenda Drake, Larry would go on to work as an electrician and a construction worker to support his family. The couple would make their way up to Boys Ranch where they both worked as house parents. They became TDCJ correctional officers and retired from TDCJ. He was also a deputy sheriff for Oldham and Potter counties for a time.
Larry is survived by his three loving children, Angela Warden and her husband Brent, Cynthia Turner and her husband Jason, and Larry Gene Gunn Jr. and his wife Nancy; two sisters, Pat Erwin and Janet Baker; grandchildren, Jessica, Zane, Aaron, Saren, Brittany, Ali, and Nicholas; great-grandchildren, Avery, Christopher, Jaidynn, Bryce, and Malerie; and numerous nieces and nephews.
