Larry Dale Pearman, 61, of Everton, departed this life on January 12, 2012. He was born September 23, 1950 to Doss Dale and Dorothy Laveda (Kelley) Pearman, in Lebanon, Mo. He was a graduate of Willard High School.
Surviving is his only daughter, Kelly Pearman, and her boyfriend Rick Barton of Half Way, three siblings, Terry Pearman of Springfield, Brenda Jackson of Fair Grove, Linda Stark of Marshfield and a host of family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Larry loved anything with a motor, especially trikes. With the help of a dear friend, he spent the last four years rebuilding one and was ready to ride this Spring. He was a proud member of the Route 66 Chapter of the Brothers of the Third Wheel Trikers. He was a biker, through and through. He was also a self-proclaimed hippie, and proud of it. He repaired most things with duct tape. He was a lover of antiques and collectibles. He was an amazing man who made an impression on everyone he met. His smile and laugh were contagious and he made sure to tell his daughter he loved her after every single text message, phone call and visit. He was so proud to be her father.
A gathering to remember Larry will be held Sunday, January 29, from 3PM to 5PM in the Chapel at Klingner-Cope Family Funeral Home at Rivermonte.
