My sincerest sympathy to the King family in the tragic loss of their son. In this day and age it saddens me that hatred towards gay people can end this way. Larry should have been allowed by society and his peers to live his life in the way that he seemed fit for him. Not to others expectations. I am truly sorry that his had to occur in yet the year 2008!

My condolences to all the boys family and friends. Many , many people are touched by this sadness.

I was so sorry to read about this! Me he found his peace and may the family ever will find rest in their harts. And the one who did this...............?? Fill in by your self!

What makes me sad is we will never be able to say WHY? This should have NEVER happened. Thank you for sharing with all of us a part of Larry that will help all of us heal from this tragic loss. His pictures are comforting. Thank you to his family for donating his organs.

I feel terrible, just learning about what happened to dear Larry. It's disgusting that the freedom we as Americans are suppose to have are limited to some because they are simply different from others. My heart goes out to Larry and his family. You're all in my prayers.

I went to E.O. Green many years ago. My friends and I had some friends that were "coming out". We did not care. We respected them as our friends, as our equals. This is what our parents taught us. Now I have 2 kids, one around Larry's age. He has been raised to respect everyone as an individual, no matter what gender, race, religion, or orientation. As parents it is our responsibility to teach tolerance and understanding of everyone. God always seems to take the best angels a little too early. Larry you will help us make this a better world.

To the King family & their friends,
Through my organization, we work with children and youth like your child every day. We work with the families as well...and we grieve for your loss and for the tragic and premature end to Lawrence's life. We do educational outreach to schools specificaly on behalf of gender non-conforming children and youth. The name of our program is "Hallway Heroes". In honor of Larry's life...we would like to rename our program "Larry's Heroes".
We are here for you, family and friends in any way we possible can be. I would like very much for permission to contact you directly at a time that you feel would be appropriate.
Your child was not alone in his identity...and he will never be forgotten. Peace, hugs and love to you all.
