He is survived by his devoted wife of 28 years, Mary Kirkland Boone, whose love and support were constants in his life. He is also survived by his brother Rick Boone and his wife Sharon. 

Larry's legacy continues through his five children: Lynn Blake (Laverne), Teresa Holland (Michael), Larry Boone Jr. (Tina), Julie Shives, and Robert Duvall. He was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren: Trey Blake, Travis Blake, Tori Blake, Gracie Holland, Payton Boone, CJ Shope, Makayla Potter, Dalton Potter, Lauren Smith, and Jake Lewis.
