Albany, MO: Larry Duane Snead passed away Tuesday, June 2, 2026, in Lexington, MO at the age of 75.
He was born in Denver, MO at the family home on July 15, 1950, the son of Walter and Bonniejean (Smith) Snead.
Larry graduated from Worth County High School. He was a member of New Harmony Baptist Church. Larry was a beautiful singer. He enjoyed singing in church, at revivals, and at family events.
Larry lived in Albany, but came to the farm every weekend to support his parents. He kept the yard mowed and helped his mom with her garden and chose different breeds of chickens for her to raise. After leaving the family farm, he always looked forward to returning for family celebrations.
One of his greatest joys was his nieces and nephews. He played games with them, took them sledding, helped build snowmen, and attended school events. Each of the kids loved Uncle Larry and thought anything their uncle said was gospel.
His hobby was collecting plates and animal figurines, large and small. He filled his trailer with beautiful items.
