Larry Joe Rollins, 79, of Inverness, FL died January 12, 2025 at Royal Oak Nursing Center in Dade City, FL.

He was born September 28, 1945 in Niles, MI to Curtis and Lois Rollins and raised in Southeast Missouri.

Immediately after graduation from Holcomb High School, Joe joined the Army and served both stateside and overseas. After leaving the Army, he went on to proudly serve two decades as a Reservist and Missouri National Guardsman before moving to Florida in 1986. In both his military and civilian work, his dedication to hard work was a common thread. He believed that any job worth doing was a job worth doing well.
