Larry Allan Blackburn, aged 81, of Helen, West Virginia, passed away in his longtime home of Cicero, Illinois on August 17, 2024. Larry was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and preacher whose life was a testament to his faith and dedication to others.
He was married to Barbara Sue Blackburn, and together they shared a life filled with love and devotion.

Larry was a devoted preacher at the 1st General Baptist Church, where his compassion and commitment to his faith touched many lives. He was an avid fisherman who loved to be on the bank with a pole in his hand. He was also a loving brother to his multiple siblings and uncle to his nieces and nephews, who will remember him with great affection.
