Larry Krumm was born on April 1, 1935 in Adair, Iowa. He was a gift of God to his parents, Lawrence H. and Arvilla Mae Krumm. Shortly afterward, Larry was born again as a chosen and redeemed child of God in Holy Baptism. As a young teen, he was instructed in the Christian faith and publically confirmed the covenant of Holy Baptism on April 10, 1949. The promises he made to trust in and follow Jesus were kept his entire life! Larry and his parents moved to Tyler in 1951, where he attended John Tyler High School and met his first love, Mary Ann Gableman. They moved to Sherman, Texas in 1954. Larry and Mary Ann started their family in 1958 and were blessed with three sons. He always put his family first. He loved them fiercely and took pride in providing for them. Upon returning to Tyler in 1977, Larry became a disciple of Jesus at Trinity Lutheran Church. He sang in the choir, served on the Board of Elders, as an officer of the Early Childhood Ministry Board, on various Call Committees, and as a founding member and first leader of the NOAH small group for many years. He was also active in Trinity’s Prime Timers organization and as the Master of Ceremony for the annual nursing homes residents’ picnics. He was an avid golfer and fisherman. He enjoyed pheasant hunting, square dancing, line dancing and traveling with Ann in their motor home. Larry also made time to serve in the community with the Jaycees and the Chamber of Commerce. After Mary Ann was called home to heaven, Larry married his second love, Ann. Married for 15 years, they continued to live in Tyler where they loved being with their grandchildren. He will always be remembered as never meeting a stranger, welcoming people in church, as the greatest Dad and Grandpa, a loving husband and for having a true servant’s heart. Even when his health had failed and he wasn’t able to continue living at home, he never complained. Nor did he ever ask to be taken back home. He just powered through it. Ann respected Larry as a wonderful husband and can’t remember them ever having a true fight. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, his first wife, Mary Ann, and oldest son, Lawrence “Bud” Krumm III. Among those who remain to grieve his death, yet to rejoice in Larry’s eternal life in heaven include his wife of 15 years, Ann Rose Krumm of Tyler; sons, Scott Allen Krumm and wife, Lisa of Tyler, Steven Martin Krumm and wife, Tara of Livingston, Montana; and Lauri Krumm, wife of Lawrence “Bud” Krumm III; Ann’s son, Randy Wade and wife, Sherril; one brother, Bill Krumm and wife, Carol Ann; grandchildren, Lawrence H.
