Lawrence "Larry" D. Turney Jr.

Lawrence D. "Larry" Turney Jr. passed away on August 29, 2022 at the age of 57, in his hometown of Muncie, Indiana. Although his passing was unexpected following complications from a surgery, we rejoice with him as he is now in the presence of his Savior, Jesus!

Larry is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of thirty-seven years, Melissa "Missy" Turney; his daughter, Lauren (Zach) Gidcumb of Muncie, Indiana; his son, Evan (Carolyn) Turney of Mooresville, Indiana; and his grandchildren, Noelle "Ellie" and Kadence "Kade" Gidcumb; his father, Lawrence Turney Sr.; his brother, Kevin Turney; his brother-in-law, Steven (Angie) Reese; his sister-in-law, Jennifer Reese; his nephews, Aaron Turney and Zach (Amy) Roberts; his nieces, Kinsey Reese, Hayle Turney, Andrea (Lucas) Hart and Kendall Reese; as well as several uncles, aunts and cousins. Larry also loved his four-legged children, "Mickey" and "Simba."

Larry was preceded in death by his mother, Carolyn Turney; his in-laws, Melvin and Vonda Reese; his four-legged buddy, "Ollie," and countless other loved ones.

Larry loved the Lord, his family and all things Disney. Larry especially enjoyed traveling with his family, specifically to Disney World and Gatlinburg, Tennessee, which became annual trips. Larry loved being the very best "PawPaw" to his grandchildren and was very gifted at slipping them cookies and candy whenever they "needed" them. Larry was a member of Northside Assembly of God and held credentials as a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God. Larry loved his family well and always worked to point them to Jesus, despite any mistakes, hardships or difficult times they would experience. Larry lived his life valuing the grace of God, His endless mercy and His unconditional love for all.

A celebration of his life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, September 3, 2022, at Elm Ridge Funeral Home, 4600 West Kilgore Avenue, Muncie, Indiana 47304 with Reverend Zach Gidcumb presiding.

Family and friends may call from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Saturday at Elm Ridge Funeral Home.

The family would like to thank Dr. Dennis Orr and the medical team at IU Ball Memorial Hospital as well as the ER staff and doctors who worked tirelessly to care for and support Larry. They would also like to thank Muncie Power Products, Larry's employer as they blessed him with their compassion and care as he endured several procedures and surgeries over the last few years. They would also like to thank all of our family and friends for their incredible support, prayers and encouragement as we all endure this difficult time.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants. Psalm 116:15
