This is hard. Larry was an icon of the faith and his music and attitude were extremely influential to me in my formative years. I feel strangely effected by his passing as if a milestone has been passed in my own life that I’m not prepared to face. Larry & Randy were two pillars of the faith that I have leaned on musically for spiritual guidance and support for years and his passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill.
I trust that his music will continue to influence others as much as it has myself.

I just found out that our good brother, Larry, passed away last weekend. He is the reason, whether everyone knows it or not, that there such a thing as Christian rock and roll. He was a major influence on to be bold musically as well as lyrically. He will be sorely missed!

I had the joy of playing with Larry both in his warm-up band and supporting band in 1986 in the U.S. Mid-west just after "Stop this Flight" was released. Larry was everything I expected and more, having been a fan of his music for many years. He was genuine, creative, open, vulnerable, witty, insightful, and clearly animated by his love for Jesus. He never put on airs or exhibited the slightest taint of vainglory. May his soul dwell with the righteous. "We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not us." (2 Cor. 4:7)

I regret that I never got chance to see this legend in concert. I once travelled from London all the way to Belfast to see him, but he had another heart attack the day before - I got to see Phil & John again for millionth time intead.
What an incredible man of God

Dear Larry,
I was drawn into your life at 16 when a DJ friend let me spin "The Rock that Doesn't Roll" as I sat in the control room chair. Later I got to meet you three times; once when I flew to Boston, Ma., once backstage at Cornerstone, and once I got to run sound for you at Le Tourneau college in Longview, Texas. They were all highpoints in my life, not just because I liked your music but because you are genuine in your fatih and kept the Gospel simple as it should alway be- Jesus died so you and you... and you... could be set free from sin and know the goodness of a Father God who loves all of us with all of His Heart.
Truly you were a son of your Father in Heaven. So, I 'll see you there soon enough, playing with Bobby and Eric and Paul and both Charlies as well as all the others you influenced; playing and singing the praise of all Mankind's Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
My condolences to all of your family; know that he will be seeing you all again.

We were so sorry to hear about Larry Norman. Our hearts go out to his family and all of his fans including me and my wife. Throughout all the years we have gone to many of his concerts and we just loved his music and his Love for The Lord. We have seen him at Cornerstone Festival many times and various other venues. We will truly miss him and his great music.

I wish we'd all been ready still rings true today. We have the opportunity to help others find the truth and the way and the life. Lets do it.
