Larry Eugene Deakins, age 90, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, passed away on Friday, March 7, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on October 31, 1934, in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the son of Wetzel Conrad "Rip" and Carrie Mae (Fliger) Deakins. Larry was a 1952 graduate of Amity High School and worked numerous years for Mansfield Plumbing and Cooper Energy Services.
He was a lifetime member of the Colonial City Moose Lodge, thirty-year member of the Knox County Coon Hunter and Gambier Fishing Club. Many have proclaimed Larry as the "Official" Mayor of Amity. For the most part, Larry was a "simple man" as he liked to hunt, fish, take care of his vegetable garden, can, turtle hunt and watch Nascar. On Friday's, he always enjoyed his one Old Milwaukee at the Moose lodge, but nothing was more important to Larry than the quality time he spent with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Sue (Styers) Deakins, his children, Tracy (Trudy) Deakins of Mount Vernon and Tif
