Larry Rushing was raised in Northport, Alabama. He graduated from Tuscaloosa County High School in 1960 and served in the National Guard Reserves. He married his lovely bride Patricia Pinion in 1967. Together they had two sons, Lance and Jason. Larry and his brother Randy started Rushing Concrete in 1973 where he worked until 2016 when he and his son Lance started Rushing Concrete Works. He continued to be one of the hardest working men in the business until his retirement in June of 2020. Larry loved everything about life, visits to his cabin on the river, hunting, fishing, and most of all spending time with his family and his faithful dogs, Maggie, Bella and Mitzi. Children, animals and making Everly Grace smile was a great source of joy in his life. Larry was the most generous, kindhearted and understanding husband, father, friend, and brother. He was adored by his wife, sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. His passing came as a shock and he will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving him. The family expresses appreciation for prayers and condolences during this difficult time.
