Larry Lee Warner (Seymour)'s Obituary
Larry Lee Warner was born December 27, 1952, in Springfield, Missouri, to the late Junior Lee and Anna Dee (Lowery) Warner. He unexpectedly departed this earthly life on Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at his home in Fordland, Missouri. Larry was sixty-three years and eight days of age at the time of his passing.
He was raised in the Springfield area and attended Springfield schools, including Hillcrest High School. Larry worked for a time as a salesman, selling siding, and also labored in construction jobs. He was working in Alabama on an oil rig until he was injured on the job and could no longer work. Larry was an avid NASCAR fan and racecar fan in general. He started riding go-carts as a young boy and continued to tinker with cars the rest of his years. When he could, Larry attended Higher Vision Worship Center in Rogersville, Missouri. Folks would say Larry “was who he was.” He had his challenges in life and kept to himself for the most part, but he could be a joker when in the company of family and friends. Larry’s mother and his siblings loved him dearly and were always there for him. In addition to his father, Junior Warner, Larry was preceded in death by a brother, Jerry Mike Warner; his maternal grandmother and her husband, Norene Ritchie and Noel Lowery; and paternal grandparents, Earid and Oma Warner. Larry leaves behind his devoted mother, Anna D. Rowe and her husband, Reuben, of Fordland; a son, Larry Warner, Jr., and a daughter, Anna D. Warner-Bogle, both of Springfield, Missouri; two granddaughters, Kayla Warner of Republic, Missouri, and Krista Crews; two grandsons, Michael Hester and Jacob Hester; a great-granddaughter, Paizlee Crews; brother, Gary and Sue Warner, of Rogersville, Missouri; sister, Sherry and Jack Miller, of Springfield; stepsister, Lisa and Greg Fox, of Seymour, Missouri; and two stepbrothers, Fred and Barbara Rowe, of Kansas City, Missouri, and Ron and Jamie Rowe of the state of Wisconsin; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and friends; and best friend, Dean Essery. Larry lived life on the edge; that was where he was comfortable. Though gone too soon, in the race of life itself, Larry has crossed the finish line.
