Larry was the first kid to ever destroy a Tonka truck. He was a daredevil at a young age and would be seen jumping garbage cans on his bicycle or seen flying down the street full throttle on his minibike. After he tore up his minibike, he picked up roller skating.  Roller skating became one of his passions and he could easily skate up to 20 miles with his boom box on his shoulders. His love of music was his family legacy, and he could be heard belting out notes in the shower. Larry loved joking around and was always looking for a good time. He never met a stranger in his walk of life because he had love for everybody and always left a lasting impression on all he met.

He is preceded in death by his parents John and Mary Etta, paternal grandparents Benjamin Harrison & Ella Bell Kendrick, maternal grandparents Mary Elizabeth &, William Wilson Sr., his son Larry D Kendrick Jr, two brothers Clifton and Ritchie Kendrick.
