In Memory

Larry Clapp - Class Of 1975

OBITUARY FROM DIGNITY MEMORIAL WEBSITE:

On Sunday, May, 5th, 2019, Larry Clapp, loving husband, father, grandfather, friend, and mentor passed away at the age of 62.

Larry was born in Gary, Indiana on December, 5th, 1956. In 1980 he moved to Texas and began growing the number one Landscaping Company in Houston with his friend Tim Heron. In 1986 he met his wife, Susan Clapp. Together they raised daughters Jennifer and Sarah, who would go on to make him Papa to Hunter, Autumn, Nathan, Colton, Rebecca, Levi, Elizabeth, and another on the way.

Larry grew into a man who would change the lives of anyone he spoke to. Unafraid of hurt feelings, Larry would tell you what you needed to hear even if you didn’t want to hear it. He was a Godly man with unbreakable faith who would always remind you, “it’s not about what you want, it’s about what He wants” or “it’s all Gods timing. You don’t have to like but you have to do it.” He believed in people even when they couldn’t believe in themselves. After years of ministry and changing people’s lives he got to walk across the stage and receive his doctorate, without ever having to step foot into a classroom. He believed experience and a good dose of common sense was the way to learn.

Larry was diagnosed with cancer in January 2016. He fought with everything in him. In the end it still did not win. He was still there for his loved ones, shared all the wisdom he had, and worked on doing what he loved. He lived a fulfilled life he was proud of and went in peace in knowing what he left behind.

Larry will be surely missed but he left us all with hearts full of love and words of wisdom that we all can still hear him saying. He now is standing with the Lord staring down at us all smiling away from the pains he fought.

We celebrate Larry’s life on Friday, May, 10th, 2019 at the Katy Funeral Homes at 5:00.
