He was born on March 31, 1949, to Millard T. Keck and Velma G. (Thomas) Keck in Paulding, Ohio. Larry was a beloved husband to his wife, Terry, and a devoted father. He graduated from Oakwood High School in Oakwood, Ohio, and went on to earn a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology from Purdue University.

Larry had a distinguished career as a Special Agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for over 30 years, where he worked tirelessly to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the benefit of the American people. Known for his fairness and respect toward others, he treated everyone with integrity and kindness. After retiring, Larry enjoyed serving as a MHSAA basketball and volleyball official.
An avid outdoorsman, Larry loved fishing and hunting. He especially cherished time spent outdoors with his grandchildren, teaching them to appreciate God’s beautiful creation. Larry will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
