Larry Compton

Mr. James Larry Compton, 71, a resident of Brantley, Alabama, passed away peacefully at home with his family on Thursday, November 19, 2020. A graveside service for Mr. Compton will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, November 21st, in Mt. Ida Cemetery with Rev. Keith Morgan officiating and Turners Funeral Home of Luverne directing.

Mr. Compton was the epitome of a hard worker his entire life. He was fortunate to be able to work with his father for many years as they built houses all over Crenshaw County. He was a very strong-willed man, but that determination served him well during his life. He had a brilliant grasp of numbers and the talent to build anything he set his mind to do. In his free time, he often enjoyed both the outdoors as he would fish or hunt, and indoor activities like working on computers. Above all, he was devoted to his family, especially his grandchildren. They were the light of his life, and they, like the rest of his family, will cherish all of the precious memories they have built over their lifetimes.

Mr. Compton was preceded in death by his parents, Wilburn & Dorothy Taylor Compton, and sister, Sybil Bryan. He is survived by his daughter, Christy Latrell-Johnson; her husband, Timothy Leary Johnson; two grandchildren, Alexander Riley Johnson and Payton Michelle Johnson; and two siblings, Helen (Marvin) Taylor and Eddie (Diane) Compton.

Active pallbearers will be James Taylor, Adam Bryan, Anthony Cook, Timothy Wells, Alexander Johnson, and Kenneth Cauley.
