He married Janet “Edi” Chastin on April 22, 1960. She recently passed away on September 9, 2025, after 65 years of marriage.
Larry’s informal education came from trial-and-error and listening to others. He was a strong physical man, mostly due to stacking and hauling hay and loading and unloading trucks most of his life.
He had a big heart, enjoyed fishing and tinkering outside. He was rarely found inside the house.
Larry is preceded in death by his wife; a daughter, Thonda Mathis; and a brother, Michale Mathis.
He is survived by his children, Danna Mathis of San Angelo and Billy Mathis of Amarillo; two grandchildren, Austin and Randa, and two great grandchildren Carter and Dean.
