We are saddened to announce the passing of Larry Sommerville. He was born on September 5, 1953 in Abeline, Kansas to John and Lenora Sommerville. He was preceded in death by his parents; his beautiful wife, Donanna (Rownd) Sommerville, whom he married in 2012; brother, Raymond Sommerville; uncle, Floyd Sommerville; and a great niece.

Larry was a devoted father to his five children: Deidra (spouse, Rusty Hodges), Shawn, Krystal McAlevy, and John "Andy" (spouse Savannah). He also leaves behind seven cherished grandchildren; sisters, Joanna Cooper, Carolyn Marples, Alice Bryan and Amanda Martinez and their families.

Larry attended Beatrice Public Schools and went on to work as a trucker before retiring in 2013. He proudly served in the Marines as a Private. He had many hobbies that brought him joy including listening to country music, fishing, cruising down the road, collecting eagles, taking care of his dog, and working the fair. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A celebration of life will be held by the family at the Riverside Park in Beatrice on Saturday, October 5th at 1:00 PM. Larry will always be remembered for his kind heart and infectious laughter. Share memories and photos of Larry on his memorial page at www.ghchapel.com.
