I am 18 Larry and I am sad .
I am sad because your death has been mimimized in the press.
I am sad that the real story isn't coming out- the fact that you were murdered because another kid was taught to hate.
I am sad because my father'e generation has done nothing to shut up the homophobic chrsitian right in this country- the main cause of homophobia and your death. Someone taught that boy to either hate who you were or fear his own sexual orientation himself. Little children are not naturally born haters...they learn it from the adults in their world.
I wish you were still with us so I could tell you how much you inspeired me. You dared to say the hell with tolerating me- accept me. We all need brave people like you in the world Larry but hopefully not a martyr.
In your honor I will fight to combat these people here at home and in the world so your passing means something. I will do my best to make sure you are never forgotten.

Even though I do not know your family or your son, I wish my condolences. Losing family is never easy but when a light so bright is extinguished though hate, that pain must be unbearable. I may never know the joy your son brought to your family but I can understand that he must have been something else. I had friends like Larry in my high school and they ment the world to me because they were my outlet for strength. Larry will be missed even by those of us who never knew him because every one of us has a Larry in our lives. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your family in these dark times.

To Larry's family. Greg, I cannot imagine the pain you and your family feel at this time. What an incredibly horrible and wastefull thing to happen. I send my most sincere condolances, thoughts, and prayers. From all of this darkness shines Larry's bright light as his donated organs will give others renewed life. Please find happiness as you reflect on what others were given through Larry's incredible sacrifice. May God bless you and your family always and forever.

To the King Family and friends, I do not know the pain that you suffer, but know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts. May our heavenly father above grant you peace and strengthen you faith through this difficult time! God Bless You!

I am good friends with the boy's father (Greg King) thus I am in one of those photos (sporting a blue shirt and sun glasses in TJ.
Sad to think that kids care caught up with Guns and even sexual orientation.
May Larry's Rest In Peace.

My deepest condolences for this tragic event, think of you often. It is very hard to lose someone you love no matter what the circumstances.

To Larry's family and friends- So many thoughts of love and strength are yours. I am very sorry about your loss- it is unfair. Please stay strong with loving thoughts of Larry and all the happiness that he had brought into your lives. May our children learn to live w/ one another peacefully (amen)...

you wil be remembered My wishes and thoughts to the family and friends. Larry, you have helped move our fight another step forward for your courage. Sad a sweet life has to be paid to do so.

Please know that Larry and his family are in our prayers. Awareness is key and we all need to spread this trajic news and educated our children so this does not happen again. Do not let Larry's death be in vain. Using awareness, we can potentially save other children. I think that the school system needs to learn how to deal with these issues as well, because ignoring the issues just make them worse. Too many people are victims of hate crimes or commit suicide because of being ridiculed, and schools need to learn how to stop this violence. We all need to take a stand and let our voices be heard.
Again, our hearts goes out to Larry's family, friends and loved ones.

I know you're in a better place now and I know you will find peace and happiness and laughter there. In your memory, I have told my grandchildren about you and the circumstances of your death and how they must stand up against such hate should they ever witness it. I have gone with them to church and lit candles in your memory. Rest in peace, Larry.
