Larry Steven Oliver, age 70, passed away Monday, November 22,2021 at Memorial Medical Center in Savannah, GA.

Larry was born on June 15, 1951, to William and Elizabeth Oliver in Greensboro, NC.
Larry graduated from New Hanover High in 1969, then graduated from Cape Fear Community College in 1971 with a degree in Oceanography and Marine Science. After graduating he went to work with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

He is survived by his four children, Larry “Steven” Oliver II, Lesly Oliver (Garth), Kasey (Joseph) Kaminski, and Willam “Will” (Kelly) Oliver. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren, Cole Healy, Karolina Kaminski, Kyleigh Kaminski, Chandler Oliver, Kamberlyn Oliver, Steven “Lil Stevie” Trey Oliver, Brantley Oliver, and Rylan Oliver. Also, two brothers William “Bill” (GiGi) Oliver and Terry (Jan) Oliver. Larry was preceded in death by his parents William Oliver and Elizabeth Zimmerman and brothers Jerry Oliver and William Christman

Larry had a personality that was larger than life and always down for a good time. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for someone in need. He loved baseball and was a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves. He was proud to be able to watch the Braves win the 2021 World Series after watching them last win the 1995 World Series. He enjoyed teasing people with his large vocabulary. Often doing the crossword puzzle out of the newspaper and challenging whomever near with what those large words meant and how to properly use them.Though most of the time being the smartest man in the room he was humble and down to earth. Always there to listen and give advice when needed. However, he was also stubborn and strong willed. Which is how even at the end, he fought harder than we could have ever known possible, never giving in or admitting defeat.

He is loved by so many. His memory will live on through his loved ones and not a day will go by that he isn’t missed! Fly high, until we meet again.

At Larry’s request, no services will be held. Condolences may be sent to 96 Eagle Glen Dr. Cartersville, GA 30121 or [email protected].

We, his family are hurt and mourning his death. It really hit us hard. He was one of the kindest persons you would have ever met. Maybe you have met him on River Street, Savannah, Georgia.

Although gone never forgotten and always loved. Until we meet again.

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are sleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
