Larry James Marroy entered into eternal life September 5, 2024 surrounded by his loving wife and daughters, after a brief illness. He was born in Klotzville, Louisiana on June 21, 1939, the son of Jean Philip Marroy and Louanna Daigle Marroy. He was a graduate of Louisiana State University and LSU Medical School in New Orleans.

He served his country with honor and pride in the U.S. Navy, and retired as a Lieutenant Commander, Medical Corps, after 8 years of active duty. He was stationed at the Naval Hospital in Da Nang, Vietnam, where he treated hundreds of US military and Allied casualties.

He completed his anesthesiology residency at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. He then established his career in New Orleans and founded the obstetric anesthesia department at Southern Baptist Hospital. In 1988, he and his family moved to Dallas, where he practiced anesthesiology at Presbyterian Hospital and other facilities across the metroplex.

He considered his greatest joy to be his 52-year marriage to Beverly. He cherished the blessings of his three daughters, their spouses, and eleven grandchildren. He found immense happiness in his family, his Catholic faith, and his country, as well as in travels with Beverly. He and Beverly were lifelong lovers of classical music, good food, and fine wine. In retirement, he developed a passion for fishing and hunting, and spent many happy hours at the Talley Ranch.
