One of his cousin's works here with me. She has been pretty tore up, but came on in. Apparently he was burn up pretty badly. Prayers go out to the whole family.

Said his vehicle exploded. He was putting another car lot on the four lane in Pound. This happened near the White Ridge Carryout.

That is what she said. Simply terrible.

His son was supposedly following him in another vehicle when Larkins vehicle went over the embankment.

I just learned this morning that Larkin's wife's first husband died in an auto accident where the auto caught fire. I can't imagine what she's going through right now - the family definitely needs prayers.

Not trying to start anything or be disrespectful but had a customer in Tuesday that went to school with Larkin and knew him well. He told me that it happened near some woman's house and she was the first one there and that his son was still at the bar that Larkin had just left and someone had gone there and gotten him and then they said he was following him. He said he knew the woman and was apt to believe her story moreso than others.
He also said that he had a problem with drinking for a long time.

Again no disrespect intended or anything just passing along some insight I had gotten.
