Larry Dean Medley, age 74 of Raymore, Missouri, formerly of Butler, Missouri, passed away peacefully in his own bed on November 4, 2025–just the way he wanted. He was born September 19, 1951 to Hollis Edward and Lillian Mary Seery Medley in Waterloo, Iowa.
Larry was an awesome dad, great friend, and the best grandpa anyone could ever ask for. He leaves behind his son Matt Medley, daughter-in-law Samantha, and grandkids Gage, Baylee, Colt, and Paislee Medley, Josh and Jonah Bolds. He also leaves behind a ton of loving family who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Julie Medley. The two were like oil and water most days — they could drive each other crazy, but they wouldn’t have had it any other way. Now they’re finally back together, probably still bickering and laughing somewhere.
He lived life on his own terms, was the most proud dad and grandpa you could imagine, and always knew how to have a good time–sometimes a little too good. He loved LongHorn Steakhouse, poker nights, and talking your ear off once he got going.
Larry will be remembered for his big heart, sense of humor, and the way he made life louder, funnier, and better for everyone around him.
