Jerry “Larry” Lawrence Kennon
Jerry “Larry” Lawrence Kennon, 54, of Beaumont, died Friday, May 24, 2024. Larry Kennon was a lifelong resident of southeast Texas. He had various hobbies such as fishing, listening to music (especially country and rock & roll), playing and watching sports (especially basketball), golfing, gaming, reading comic books, and collecting baseball cards. He even owned a baseball card and comic book shop in his early twenties. His favorite basketball team was the Carolina Tar Heels, and he had quite the collection of ball cap and tee shirts of this team (and others he liked). He had an adventurous spirit and loved to travel. He was kind to all and always willing to help someone in need anyway he could. Larry was a devoted employee to Exxon Mobil and had many friends there. He was a “life of the party” kind of guy; always cracking jokes, and down for a good time. He was a loving father and grandpa (aka pop). His hugs could cure even the saddest of times. His vibrant spirit will always be remembered, and it will live on through his children and their children.
Survived by his three children, Ashleigh Davis, partner Joseph Hurst; Camryn Kennon, wife Catherine; and Zackary Kennon. He also leaves behind four grandchildren, Samson Runge, Clover Kennon, Calloway Kennon, and Trey Hurst. Larry also leaves his sister, Kimmie Brown.
