Larry Allen Hartman

Larry Allen Hartman, age 83, of Hernando, FL, died at his home under the care of his devoted family and Vitas Hospice. Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he was the son of the late Robert Henwood and Helen (Haag) Henwood.

Larry grew up on an island in Hernando and lived in Citrus County for more than 80 years. He was a graduate of Citrus High School, Central Florida Community College and The Florida School of Preaching.  He worked for his Father-in-Law, AT Carroll before devoting his life to ministry at the Floral City Church of Christ where he served for twenty-seven years.  He also volunteered at the Central Florida Bible Camp for over 30 years.  He helped to establish TOOFAR to help protect the waterways of Central Florida that he grew up on and loved.  His devotion to his faith and the ministry was his hallmark.  He truly enjoyed being surrounded by his family because they were a big part of his life.

Left to cherish his memory are his children; Michael A. (Kathryn) Hartman of Hernando, Jared L. (Jennifer) Hartman of Brevard, NC, and Michele Beckwith of Floral City; one brother, Bobby Henwood of Yankeetown; seven grandchildren: Trevor Beckwith, Charalyn Morgan, Savannah Beckwith, Michael Hartman II, Elaina Hartman, Charles Barnett, and  Sheena Beckwith; one great-grandchild: Ella Rose Morgan. In addition to his parents, Larry was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Marguerite “Peggy” (Carroll) Hartman.  She passed on October 30, 2016.  He also lost a brother, Ray Hartmann.
