Larry Douglas Cottrell, 65 of Burlington, KY passed away September 2, 2021, at his home. He is preceded in death by his daughter Melinda Jean Roland, grandson Trusten Josiah Pham, parents Emmett and Ella (nee Pendley) Cottrell, sisters Ella Herald, Thelma Cottrell and Patty Cottrell and brothers Larry, Gary, Michael and Timothy. Survived by his loving children Heather (Roger) Justice, Cheryl Cottrell, Angela Cottrell, Marinda Roland and Larry Cottrell, Jr, grandchildren JoAnn (Rob) Noble, Brian Robinson, Roger Justice, III, Mikarah Slone, Kiley Winkle, Kiera Cottrell, Jaelynn Cottrell-Pham, Zayon Mitchell, Landon Roland and Brian Roach, great-grandchildren (who called him “Cowboy Grand Pa”) Brentley Noble, Lanney Noble, Zane Noble and Brack Lyric Noble, brothers Emmett Cottrell, Richard Cottrell and Roberts Cottrell and sister Barbara (Gary) Price and many nieces and nephews. My Papi was a very loved father, brother and friend. He didn’t know a stranger and would help anyone if he could. He was funny with always a story to tell. Everyone that knew him knew his love for music. He was the “man in black” and sure could sing. He sent videos of him singing to everyone. Music was always his happy place, especially Elvis and Gospel music. He would speak of the day he would go home…he would get to see Kay his sister-in-law who he loved so much, Melinda his sweet angel, his mom and meet the King. We are at peace knowing dad is in no more pain. He is with our Father in Heaven looking down. He was sick most of his life and was the toughest man I knew. He will be missed so much but we will meet again. We pray through the loss of Dad that our family and friends find salvation that families are restored. There’s only one way for your journey on earth to end and Jesus said to them “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. John 14:6 – Repent of your sin, believe in Jesus, follow Him and leave this world clinging to Him in faith knowing He has you in His hands. His grace is sufficient. Trust Him. A memorial service will be held, Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 1pm at Impact Life Church, 1 Churchill Dr, Ft. Thomas, KY 41075.
