Larry Martin Luoma

Larry Martin Luoma, age 70, of Huntsburg Township, passed away on March 19, 2025.

He was born on Feb. 10, 1955, at Corey Hospital in Chardon, to Wayne and Coralyn (nee Sawyer) Luoma.

Larry earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management from Milligan College in Johnson City, Tenn.

On Aug. 14, 1982, he married his beloved wife, Amanda Kingery, and together they built a home filled with love, commitment and family values.

Larry and Amanda spent over 30 years in Jonesborough, Tenn., where they raised their family. He was a dedicated father who poured his heart into supporting his four sons, and his nine grandchildren were a constant source of joy in his life.

With a career spanning over 44 years in materials management, Larry worked for Burton Rubber and HEXPOL Compounding. His work took him across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Belgium, where he played a crucial role in establishing four different Greenfield Operations.

Beyond his professional and family life, Larry had a passion for golf, horseshoes and softball, enjoying every moment spent on the field or course with friends and loved ones.

Larry is survived by his beloved wife, Amanda Luoma; sons, Josh Toth, of Tennessee, Josh (Lauren) Luoma, of Newbury Township, Jared Luoma, of Burton, and Wade (Jeanette) Luoma, of California; cherished grandchildren, Madeline, Lulu, Shayne, Neilo, Coralyn, Kylie, Lucus, Waylon and Rosalyn; mother, Coralyn Luoma; brothers, Wayne, Jr. (Georgia) Luoma, of Burton, and Glenn Luoma, of Burton; and sister, Marie (Dennis) Wilmont, of Claridon Township.

He was preceded in death by his father, Wayne Luoma Sr.

Larry’s family would like to thank special nurses Mimi and Edyta at Seidman Cancer Center for their special care given to Larry during his courageous battle with cancer.

A memorial gathering to celebrate Larry’s life will be held March 24, 2025, from 4-6 p.m. at Burr Funeral Home, 116 South St., Chardon.

Larry will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his memory will forever remain in the hearts of those he touched.
