Vandever picLarry will not be having a service. As much as we wanted to give him one, we must respect his wishes that he didn’t want one.
Our daddy always believed in receiving his flowers and celebrations for life while he was ALIVE!
We not only respect it, but we understand it.
To know our daddy, “Mr. Larry”, “Paw Paw”, “Pops”, “L”, or Larry Vandever was to LOVE him. He definitely left an impression with anyone he came in contact with! His radiant smile and that boisterous laugh will never be forgotten.
And of course if you knew him, you knew he could talk!
Larry is survived by his mother, Shirley Byrd-Phelps, his children, Tawne’, Shawna, Elijah, and Isaiah Vandever. And a host of relatives and friends.  Larry is also survived by his 10 grandchildren of which he truly loved and adored. Damico, Zahmaira, Zayda, Taelor, Tanaia, Tawne’ Jr., Tavaris, Elijah Jr., Mya, and Josiah.

We love you daddy so much and we’re sure going to miss you.
Hell, we miss you already.
But you’re not suffering anymore, nobody can hurt you anymore, and you’re pain free.
We know you gotta lot of catching up to do with B and the rest of your family.
We know you’ll be visiting us soon, if you haven’t already.
Get your rest daddy, we got you.
As he would always end a conversation…”In a minute” daddy.
