Ronald “Larry” Needs

Ronald Larry Needs born August 18, 1967 passed from this life January 17, 2009. He was a loving husband, father, brother and friend to all. Larry knew no stranger. He was an unselfish person with a very unique sense of humor. An UNDAUNTED Miami Dolphin fan from birth; his love for motorcycles, classic rock music, and the "occasional" tat - all of these carried him through those times of adversity in his life along with his faith. He climbed and conquered many mountains in his life; the most recent achievement of earning a MBA from Wayland Baptist University with an emphasis in Healthcare. A perpetual partaker of Pepsi, he did reach perfection once in his life with a 300 game in bowling. He is survived by his loving wife of 14 years, Tracy Campbell Needs; sons, Taylor Daniel Dylan Alexander Needs; mother, Emily L. Needs; brother, Robert L. Needs, Jr. of Keller, TX; maternal grandmother-in-law, Dorothy Jane Whitley of Bristow, OK; mother-in-law, Kathy (Tony) Trevino of Seven Points, TX; father-in-law, Gary (Mary) Campbell of Clyde, TX; sisters-in-law, Melinda Needs of Keller, TX and Kat Champenois of Tomball, TX; also numerous other relatives and friends. Larry was preceded in death by his father, Robert L. Needs, Sr., sister, Lena Dare Gee of Bradenton, FL and brother-in-law, Jason Campbell.
