It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend, Larry Dean Chandler, age 77, of Decatur, Tennessee. 

Larry will be remembered for his kind heart, love of riding his motorcycle, and the many stories he shared about his years working at the golf course and the friends he cherished. He enjoyed simple pleasures, especially his daily lunches at the Piggly Wiggly, where he was a familiar face to all. 

Larry touched the lives of many with his friendship and conversation. He will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him. Though Larry didn't have children, he leaves behind a very dear friend, Megan Waters, who quickly became like family to him for several years, along with her family and the many friends he cherished and whose lives he touched. 

Rest in peace, Larry. You will never be forgotten. 

There are currently no formal services planned. Companion Funeral & Cremation Service of Athens, Tennessee is honored to be entrusted with these arrangements.
