He confessed in an episode of the Ricky Smiley Morning Show in March 2022 that he had relapsed, regaining 200 pounds.
But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he underwent a transformative surgery, shedding nearly 100 pounds as a result.
He took strides towards a healthier lifestyle, akin to a formidable boxer ready to face his next bout, incorporating physical activities such as boxing and better dietary choices like salads into his life.
Larry Myers Jr. was not shy about sharing his journey. One of his Facebook posts from May showcased a video of him from 2022 struggling to ascend a staircase.
“The way I can move now, God is a good God,” he wrote, highlighting his progress and determination, mirroring the perseverance of a mountain climber fighting the odds to reach the summit.
A Plea for Help in Difficult Times
Following Larry Myers Jr.’s passing, his cousin Todd Darrell announced the heartbreaking news on social media, paying a heartfelt tribute to Larry.
Darrell also requested financial support via a GoFundMe page to afford a dignified farewell for the former reality star.
