He quickly landed a job at Texas Kenworth, working until his retirement at 72 years old. Larry also owned a land clearing business, Mankey Mowing.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Ruth Mankey.

Larry is survived by his wife, Jeannie; his two sons, Brian Mankey, Larry Mankey and wife Erica; grandson, Xavier Mankey, who is a German Tax Inspector; he is also survived by the mother of his children, Leyda Mankey; his three sisters and one brother; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Larry was surrounded by a beautiful Christian community at Cornerstone Baptist that has helped and supported his walk in love. The family would like to say a special thank you to Anthony and Tracy. He was loved by many and will be missed by all.
