Larry Wayne Adkins

Larry Wayne Adkins, 66, of Ridgeway, Virginia, passed away at his home Sunday, June 28, 2026. He was born on January 15, 1960, in Martinsville, Virginia, to Spencer and Mary Adkins, both deceased.

Larry was of the Methodist faith, and a man whose life exemplified love and kindness. He was always someone others could depend on whenever they needed help. With a good personality and a big heart, Larry never met a stranger and ensured everyone around him had what they needed. He was a hard worker and was dedicated to his job at First Piedmont, where he was employed for 35 years. His family was his priority, and he worked tirelessly to provide for them. Some of his favorite pastimes included fishing, swimming, and watching the television show, Moonshiners.

His family will forever remember Larry for the legacy of love, integrity, and faith he leaves behind. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Debbie Gauldin Adkins; son, Travis Johnny Adkins; and sisters, Kathy Fain, Doris Greenewale (Bill), Debbie Shelton (Jack), and Wanda Adkins (Donald Willard).

A graveside service will be held Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM at the Gauldin Carter Family Cemetery, 929 Plantation Road, Axton, Virginia 24054.
