Larry Drayton

November 12, 1950 — August 26, 2024

Augusta, Georgia

Larry Drayton, a revered figure in the entrepreneurial landscape, graced the world with his presence from November 12, 1950, in North Augusta, South Carolina, until his departure on August 26, 2024, in Augusta, Georgia. His journey through life was not just defined his successful career as a self-made entrepreneur, but also by the indelible mark he left on his family and the community he cherished.

As a husband to Johnnie Drayton, Larry exemplified the virtues of devotion and partnership. Together, they navigated the complexities of life, building a legacy that would be cherished by their family and friends. Larry was also a proud father to Nicole Price, whose achievements and spirit reflect the values he instilled in her. His love for his family was profound, and he took great pride in nurturing their dreams and aspirations.

Professionally, Larry’s entrepreneurial spirit flourished as he forged a path that many admired. His endeavors not only provided for his family but also contributed to the economic tapestry of the region. He believed in the power of hard work and innovation, and these principles guided his professional life, inspiring those who had the privilege of working alongside him.

As we gather to reflect upon the life of this remarkable man, we invite family, friends, and all who knew him to celebrate Larry’s journey. A viewing will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024 at C.A. Reid Sr. Memorial Funeral Home in Augusta, starting at 1:30 PM, followed by a Celebration of Life at 2:30 PM. The final farewell will take place at Drayton Cemetery in North Augusta, where Larry will be laid to rest at 3:45 PM.

Larry Drayton's legacy rests not solely in his accomplishments but in the love he shared with his family and the community. He will forever be remembered for his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support, a guiding light in the lives of those fortunate enough to have crossed his path.
