Larry's obituary
We are profoundly saddened to report the peaceful passing of Mr. Larry "Rae Rae" Ward on May 11, 2025. Born on January 13, 1968, Larry brought joy, wisdom, and kindness into the world throughout his 57 years. Known fondly as "Rae Rae" to friends and family, he dedicated his life to showing love to those around him and contributing positively to his community.
Larry was predeceased by his cherished sister, Sharon Ward. He leaves behind his beloved daughter, Jacquez Ward, who will continue to carry his legacy forward. Larry’s unconditional love for his grandchildren and his successful lawn mowing business stands as some of his fulfilling accomplishments.
Larry was a proud alumnus of Southwest Magnet High School and Law Academy in Macon, GA, where he graduated in 1990. He was a man of simple pleasures, with a palate that appreciated collard/turnip greens and apple pie, and a refreshing cold coke. He relished the soulful tunes of Teddy Pendregrass, particularly "Love TKO," and enjoyed the cinematic works "The Color Purple" and "Life".
A dedicated follower of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Larry also found relaxation in fishing and construction. His favorite local retreat was Log Cabin Park, while the exotic charm of Dubai topped the list of his preferred vacation destinations.
Known for his vibrant personality, Larry was loving, caring, nice, compassionate, and empathetic. His passion for the wellbeing of children led him to ardently support causes like St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Larry, with his strong affection for the color red, taught invaluable life lessons such as how to ride a bike, brush teeth, and use the bathroom.
His memory will forever be etched in the hearts of the many lives he touched. Larry "Rae Rae" Ward will be profoundly missed, but his lessons of love, compassion, and resilience will continue to enlighten us. May his soul rest in peace.
