Larry Marvin Wilson, 63, of Battle Creek, Michigan, went to be with the Lord and "Mama," Irene McClenney on Monday, February 27, 2017 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on October 10, 1953, the son of Bobby and Ella Mae Quarles.
Larry graduated from Battle Creek Central High School and loved to play basketball in school. He worked for the City water department for many years and retired as a supervisor.
Larry is survived by his wife of 40 years - Glenna Mae Eldridge-Wilson; son, Larry (Lori) Eldridge; three grandchildren, Darrian Eldridge, Dylan Eldridge, and Brayden Street; sister, Rochelle (Charles) Collet; brother, Bobby (Joyce) Quarles Jr.; two close friends, Michael Edwards, and Lloyd (Lisa) Dewalt who helped him immensely.

Larry had a passion for old cars. He enjoyed tinkering and fixing them up. He also enjoyed the great outdoors; particularly hunting anything from deer to mushrooms. Larry's family was his entire world and he especially doted on his grandchildren. He also greatly enjoyed doing fireworks with Buck Eldridge, his father-in-law. He had a heart of gold and he will be dearly missed by all those who knew him.
