After a full and blessed life, Larry Allen Burchfield lost his battle with cancer on December 27, 2008, at University Medical Center of Little Rock.
Larry was born August 16, 1946, to the late Oba Burchfield and Allean Johnson-Burchfield of Halley, Arkansas. He was preceded in death by a brother, Billy Burchfield of Little Rock.
