Larry Junius Holman was born October 3, 1948, in Ashland, VA to James Holman and Sallie Cash Holman. He grew up in Hanover County schools and was later drafted into the United States Army in 1967, where he served two years in the Vietnam war.

He accepted Christ at an early age and became a member of Providence Baptist Church, where he served faithfully as a Trustee, grounds keeper and was a member of the Men's choir, until his illness would not allow.
