Larry Michael

Pogue Sr.

Larry Michael Pogue Sr., beloved husband of Patricia Louise, and son of the late Donna "Wendell" Pogue and Doris "Imogene" (Gilmer) Pogue, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 20, 1953. He departed this life in Ellington, Missouri, on June 3, 2022, at the age of 68.

On July 28, 1973, in St. Louis County, Missouri, Larry was united in marriage to Patricia Louise Callis and to this loving union two sons, Larry Michael and David Wayne, were born. Larry retired from Reynolds County Road and Bridge Department. Larry was a farrier as well and spent 50 years traveling throughout the community near and far shoeing horses. He was also a member of the Hunting Dog Association for several years.

Larry was a true country boy, loving life to its fullest and never meeting a stranger, always eager to lend a helping hand to anyone. He was honest, trustworthy, and loyal, had a great sense of humor, and enjoyed teasing everyone. First and foremost Larry loved his family and was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He enjoyed horseback riding, hunting and going to livestock sales. He will always be the best man we have ever met.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Wendell and Imogene Pogue.

Larry is survived by his loving wife of 48 years Patricia Pogue of Ellington, Missouri, two sons, Larry Pogue Jr. and David Pogue, six grandchildren, Dylan Pogue, Ashley Pogue, Morgan Pogue, Austin Gibson, Corey Gibson and Emily Gibson, one brother, Kevin Pogue and wife Judy of Richwoods, Missouri, one sister, Myra Turner and husband Arthur of Ellington, Missouri, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Larry will be profoundly missed by his family and friends and everyone who had the honor to meet him.
