Fans and former Arkansas State football players are mourning the death of legendary football coach Larry Lacewell, who died in the early hours of Wednesday(May 18) at the age of 85.
Lacewell had a long and successful coaching career in Jonesboro, leading his former team to two Southland Conference championships, four trips to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, and the 1986 national championship game.

Lacewell grew up in Fordyce and attended Arkansas A&M, now known as the University of Arkansas at Monticello, before beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant under the legendary Bear Bryant, a fellow Fordyce HS alum.
It is currently difficult to solve the mystery surrounding his death, but his autopsy report is set to be released later this week, which should provide us with a good idea of his death circumstances.
The deceased’s family would issue a press release outlining his funeral arrangements, including the funeral date, time, burial grounds, and every detail required for his successful burial.
