Larry D Carver, age 82, of Granbury, and formerly of Moore, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on Feb. 28, 2025. Larry was born in Norman, Oklahoma, on Feb. 28, 1943. He had a lifelong passion for racing cars, boats, and just about anything else with an engine. This led him to start his own business, Diesel Machine Manufacturing, in Oklahoma City in 1987. Larry and Nina fell in love as young teenagers and their deep love and friendship continued throughout their long and happy marriage of 62 years. Larry's family meant everything to him. Spending time with his grandchildren gave him the greatest joy.
