He was born in Iredell County on May 7, 1951 to the late Carl Preston Weddington and the late Gladys Goodman Weddington.

Larry graduated from South Rowan High School in 1969. While at South, he was an avid football player that received several honors. One of them, being the MVP Eudy Award, which you can still find hanging in the entrance way of the school.

Larry shared 47 years of marriage with his loving wife Kathy Hall Weddington. He enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren as he cheered them on at many baseball games, football games, basketball games and dance recitals. Anyone who saw him at these events would agree that he was their biggest fan. He also enjoyed attending old, muscle car shows in his free time.
