Born on November 20th, 1952 to Willis and Pauline Miller Pearson, Larry is survived by his loving wife Cheryl Price Pearson; sons Bruce Pearson (Wanda) of Fort Myers, Florida and Tyler Pearson (Carissa) of Atoka, Oklahoma; daughter Nikki Reed (Justin) of Tupelo; sister Paula Bane of Louisville; mother-in-law Charlene Price of Louisville, brothers-in-law Joel Price (Virginia) of Brandon and Kevin Price (Ashlie) of Louisville. He was “Granddaddy” to five grandchildren: Cassi Wells (Trevor), Lake and Emmi Reed, and Stetson and Steelie Pearson. He was loved by many nieces and nephews as well.
Larry is preceded in death by his parents; his three brothers, Terry, Jack, and Scott; and his father-in-law, Tommy Price.
Throughout his life he loved working with horses and being involved with rodeos. After his retirement from Choctaw Distribution Center, he and Cheryl enjoyed traveling and seeing God’s beautiful creation. Some of their favorite trips were to baseball fields, dance competitions, and rodeos following their grandchildren.
Larry loved his family, but he loved his Lord more. His Whitehall Church family was blessed to hear his testimony just a few weeks ago. His words of encouragement and advice to young parents were to keep God as the center of their busy lives. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ should be the most important thing in a parent’s life. He and Cheryl had a powerful prayer life and always thanked God for the many blessings in their lives. Larry requested the song “One Blessed Man” be sung at his service.
Pallbearers will be Lake Reed, Stetson Pearson, Joel Price, Kevin Price, Scott Coleman, and Mark Gillis with Ricky Bane, Jimmy Cochran, Jeff Culbreath, Jace Pearson, Jeff Reed, and B. J. Webb serving as honorary pallbearers.
