La Marr was always a free spirit and marched to the beat of his own drum. He was loved by many and made a deep impression on everyone he encountered. La Marr had a deep passion for his first love, baseball. Football was his second love and his last love was golf. La Marr loved animals of all kinds. Most importantly, La Marr loved his family.
