Mr. Larry Eugene Diggs went home to be with the Lord on October 5, 2026, at WFBH High Point Medical Center. He was born on October 16, 1952, to George and Clara Diggs, who both preceded him in death, and brothers Charles, James, Melvin, and Lester Diggs.

Larry graduated from T. Wingate High School in 1970. After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served for four years. Following his military service, he worked as a service technician at Piedmont Natural Gas Company for many years before retiring.

Serving the community was always one of Larry's greatest passions. He volunteered at Hospice and the Heart Center. His love for the youth inspired him to volunteer at Welborn Middle School. He attended most city council meetings, where he made numerous suggestions to improve the city and community. Eventually, he decided to run for a seat on the city council.

His love for music inspired him to sing in the Messiah with the Mary P. Brown Community Choir. As a faithful, dedicated member, he also sang with the Word of Life Church Choir. He spent many joyful hours listening and singing along with his favorite oldies goldies.

Larry truly loved the Lord and enjoyed talking with anyone and sharing his views about life and the Bible. Everyone who knew Larry loved him. He was always polite, considerate, and kindhearted, and he was willing to lend a helping hand, often with a smile. His hobbies included bowling, water aerobics, fishing, and traveling.

Larry was married to the love of his life, Elvenia Diggs, who preceded him in death.
