Larry Lee Talbert Sr.

Larry Lee Talbert Sr., affectionately known as “PawPaw” and “Dad,” passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on March 28, 1940, in Virginia, he spent his later years in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where he built a life centered on devotion to family, faith, and service to others.

A highly respected independent insurance agent, Larry earned a bachelor’s degree and achieved the distinguished CIC and CPCU designations. He was widely recognized for his expertise and integrity in the insurance industry. Equally passionate about mentoring, he taught and trained many individuals in the business, guiding them as they built their own successful careers.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Larry was known for his extraordinary intelligence, warm heart, and unwavering kindness. He was the kind of man who would help anyone in need and who made it his mission to spread joy and positivity wherever he went. He found great happiness in life’s simple pleasures—reading, working crossword puzzles, and spending quiet time with jigsaw puzzles alongside his beloved wife, Marie. A faithful member of First Baptist Church in Lawrenceville, he lived grounded in faith and community, often beginning his mornings in conversation and fellowship with friends.

Above all, Larry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He loved his wife, Marie Parish Talbert, from the moment he first saw her and remained deeply devoted to her throughout their life together. His family remembers him as the best dad and PawPaw—a loving presence whose wisdom, humor, and encouragement shaped generations. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marie Parish Talbert, and his daughter, Angela Maxine Talbert. He is survived by his daughter, Melanie Evans; his son, Larry Talbert Jr.; his grandchildren, Fiadh Widow-Bransdorf, Matthew Talbert, Jeffery Talbert, and one additional grandchild; two great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him greatly.
