Larry A.

Musgrove

Larry Aulden Musgrove was born to Aulden and Frances Musgrove on August 1, 1951, in Valdosta, Georgia. He was called to his eternal home surrounded by his family and close friends on November 7, 2026, at his residence in Live Oak, Florida. Through his steadfast commitment to his faith, he sought to live out the love of Christ in the way he treated others. Quietly serving, he never looked for recognition or applause. This was his calling. He was a deacon of Mt. Olive Baptist Church for 40 years, and his eagerness to care for others was brought to fruition in the lives he touched. His commitment to the church extended beyond his role as a deacon as he also shared his musical gifts by playing the drums during church services. It was a simple joy for him to bring his love for music to share with the congregation. 

A 1969 graduate of Suwannee High School, he immediately began his 42-year career in the power line industry. He led many crews to restore power to communities affected by storms, including his own. His work ethic, commitment, and willingness to serve were not only evident in his profession but in every part of his life. In his free time, he enjoyed playing tennis. He would bring along anyone willing to play with him just to get time on the courts. His love for family and community were also expressed with the literal fruits of his labor in the yard. Lemons, oranges, and roses were his gifts to share. 

Beyond his faith and work, there was another side to him. He loved laughter, fellowship and sharing a good time with others. His favorite thing to do was bring a smile to the faces of those around him. He found joy in ordinary moments, never met a stranger, and shared his love of Christ with anyone he met. He understood the importance of laughter and the blessing of companionship. 

A proud husband, father, and grandfather, he devoted his life to leading by example. His life was a blessing, his memory is a treasure, and his love will remain with us always. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Doretha B. Musgrove; his daughters, Toshia Card (Todd), Amber Chauncey (Clif), and Jessica Hackney (Cole); brothers, Steve, Mike (Gayle), Jamie (Glenda), Chris (Terri), and sister, Lauren Lewis (Jim). He is also survived by his grandchildren, Nico Marrone (Janna), Hayden Card (Emma), Dawson Card, Lily Ingram, Camrin Chauncey, Carsin Chauncey (Jade), Judah Hackney, and Adair Hackney; and his great- grandchildren, Arrio, Elsie, and Sawyer.

 "Well done thy good and faithful servant.. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Matthew 25:21
