Let Larry's undying courage and spirit inspire us ALL to be ourselves and live life in the way we so desire. My heart is broken hearing his story. I only hope that parents and schools all over the world take this as a warning that things need to change, tolerance and acceptance need to be taught from kindergarten, and parents, teachers and administrators need to be more readily available to talk to students and recognise warning signs. In rememberance of Larry and all who've left this Earth far too early, only the GOOD die young.

Rest now, sweet child. Thy memory shall not be forgotten by those of us who still live & remember thee. For when the day of a person is at and end, so too must the night of his bless'd eternal sleep begin. And though you were young & not yet full of years when you were taken, whilst you slumber undisturb'd, so too shall thy loved ones prosper & endure. Requiescat in pace, my child, Requiescat in pace...

I only heard your story today. I too had a gay son, Adam. He was such a joy. He was killed in a car accident in August 2006. I remember his tough times being gay and wanting to help him. I also remember what a wonderful son he was to me. We were best friends. I am thinking of you and your family. He's hoping Adam and Larry have found each other. We can only hope. My heart is broken for you loss as well as mine. Peace to you. <3

I'm so sorry.
R.I.P.

This should have never happened. If it happened to him who else could it happen to? I no longer feel safe in school. May he rest in peace.

There is nothing I can say that would bring anyone comfort about this tragic event. It disgusts me to think that something like this could ever happen. The worst part is this probably isn't the first or last time it will happen. I plan on participatiing in the Day of Silence to help make a statement.

sending my love

OMG!!! I am 17, I can't believe this this is crazy i have a brother that is 22 and hes gay and i could image the pain of losing a boy so innocent but i don't Larry but as i look and read about him i love him and feel him he is a true angel and i would of loved to had been his friend

I am so sorry that this happened. It makes me wonder what is going on now a days that people die over something that they can't change. I hope that one day we as a society can overcome own own ignorance. I hope that people become more accepting.

Hi. My name is Melissa.. im gay too. i am 19 Y/O i have to say that what has happened is a disgrace to humanity. appreciate and respect peoples diferences as we would to you. A child or adult for that matter should not have to stress and deal with not being able to be themselves. Im deeply sorry about your loss. Your son will be remembered by ALOT of people who care...
