Larry Henry Storey

Larry Henry Storey, age 79, of Robbins, Tennessee, went to be home with Jesus on Sunday, December 1, 2024. Born in Scott County, TN, on June 1st, 1945, he was the son of the late Lloyd Virgil and Ollie Goad Storey. Henry’s life was characterized by his deep compassion and his readiness to assist others. He was a beloved member of Black Creek Crossroads Missionary Baptist Church.

Henry loved being outdoors and working with his hands. As his career, he worked for the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Forestry Division fighting forest fires and promoting fire prevention and safety. Although Henry did not have any biological children, over his years he stepped in and played the “Father and Grandfather Figure” to many.
