July 6, 1964 – July 18, 2022
Lawrence “Larry” M. Kehoe, 58, Carmel, passed away on July 18, 2022 at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a short and brutal battle with cancer, during which he showed his lifelong qualities of bravery and fearlessness.
Born on July 6, 1964, to Lawrence and Rose Kehoe in Rockaway Township, N.J., Larry graduated from Morris Knolls High School in 1982. He worked in Quality Control at Howmet Austenal in Dover, N.J. In 1988, Larry joined the rest of his family in Indianapolis, where they moved the previous year.
Larry studied political science and economics at Indiana University and graduated with an honors degree in 1993. He worked in the insurance industry for 20 years specializing in casualty claims and overseeing third party adjustment of large retention programs. The St. Paul, Boy Scouts of America, and Indiana Lumbermens Mutual benefited from his keen mind. Larry was passionate about his work and loved what he did for a living, no matter what that was. He was always admired by his coworkers and clients, no matter the job.
Since 1994, Larry was happily married to the former Christy Korson and they had two beautiful children, Aidan and Moira. Larry and Christy moved from Denver, Colo., where their children were born to Dallas, Texas, and finally back to Indiana in 2001.
Larry loved politics, local and federal. He loved spending time with his friends and his kids. He loved the Indianapolis Colts, where he and Christy were season ticket holders for many years. He had an interest in everything going on around him and a wonderful way of staying in touch with people – friends and family from childhood, high school, college, Denver and Dallas. He was a true example of what hard work and perseverance could do.
In his own words, Larry said: “I’m very lucky to have been married to and been with Christy for over 30 years. She’s got a great sense of humor and is my rock. We have two great kids who might make us crazy sometimes but whenever we need them, they are always right there. I’ve had a great life with friends … I also had the best parents, sisters and brother anyone could have. My grandparents, aunts and uncles, and so many cousins of all levels have all been great examples and friends to learn from and have fun with. I just have to reiterate how lucky I’ve been. I’ve had a full life.”
Larry is survived by his beloved wife, Christy, and their children, Aidan and Moira. He is also survived by his parents, Lawrence and Rose Kehoe; sisters, Laura and Joanne (Michael Beck); and brother, John (Rebecca). He will be forever missed by his many nieces and nephews, friends, in-laws, and extended family in New Jersey and Indiana and all over the country.
Visitation will be from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 24, 2022, with a rosary at 4:45 p.m. at Randall & Roberts Funeral Center, 1685 Westfield Road, Noblesville. Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 25 at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, 10655 Haverstick Road, Carmel, with a luncheon reception for all attendees immediately following. Interment will be at a later date.
The family requests that contributions in Larry’s memory be made to Little Sisters of the Poor St. Augustine House (Indianapolis) or Indianapolis Ten Point Coalition as these were two charities which he greatly admired and supported.
