Larry Wayne Hunt, 68, of Danville, IL passed away July 9, 2025, at Carle Hospital in Urbana. He was born August 17, 1956, in Flint, MI to Roy James and Leona Faye (Short) Hunt.

Larry worked for Care Muffler and Brake Shop for 20 years. As a retired Marine veteran, Larry was proud of his service to his country. He enjoyed being in the great outdoors, and having a green thumb, his garden was something he was very proud of. Riding his motorcycle and smoking meat on his grill was another love of his, but the one thing he loved the most was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He married his wife, Joy, on September 30, 2000, and they spent 25 loving years together.  

He was preceded in death by his parents, and aunts, Betty and Patty.
