Larry 'Kemp' Styron

Obituary Larry "Kemp" Styron, 88, of Harkers Island, passed away peacefully at home while surrounded by his family on Saturday, April 25, 2020. Kemp was employed with NOAA for 31 years. His love for the ocean carried him through the many years of being away from home until his retirement in 1986. He then returned full time to Harkers Island, or "paradise" as he called it, and again enjoyed the waters surrounding the Island. Today, he gained his wings and entered his eternal Paradise of Heaven. He was loved by his family dearly.
