Larry Duane Law, age 76 of Drexel, Missouri died Thursday, July 23, 2026 at his home. He was born April 19, 1950 to Duane Earl and LaVaun Brant Law in Estherville, Iowa.
Larry, one of three children, grew up in Ballard, Missouri. He graduated from Ballard High School in 1968, then attended college for two years in Warrensburg, Missouri. In 1973, Larry joined the Air Force and served until 1979. After his service, Larry began an illustrious 31 year career with Kansas City Power and Light and retired in 2010. He was the proud father of two children. On June 12, 1992 Larry married Lisa Medcalf and together they enjoyed 34 years of marriage.
Larry was a easy-going and laid back guy who simply enjoyed life. One of his favorite things to do was spend time with his family. Larry enjoyed vacations with Lisa–often going to Biloxi, Mississippi–where he would get to see some of his grandchildren. Larry found relaxation in drawing and painting, frequently giving away or donating his work. In addition to taking care of his family, Larry also liked to take care of himself by staying active. He enjoyed things such as riding bicycles and motorcycles to karate . . . which was possibly his favorite sport. In later years, Larry enjoyed relaxing with Lisa and watching television. His favorite shows were Yellowstone and The Price is Right. Larry made sure that hooking up the television was one of the first things that was done after the move to Drexel so he would not miss any episodes. He will be remembered with affection and respect by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Larry is survived by his wife, Lisa Law of Drexel, Missouri; one son, Mike Law and wife Gina of Drexel; one daughter, Melissa Clevenger and husband Nathan of Raymore, Missouri; six grandchildren, Brayden and wife Jenna, Brinna and Kylee Law, Audrey Craker, Billy Lau and Kevin Rockers and wife Skylar; three great-grandchildren, Hayden Anthony, Kase and Hadliegh Rockers; two brothers, Gary Law and wife Lila of Montrose, Missouri and Kent Law and wife Nancy of Blue Springs, Missouri; one aunt, Sharon Bowling of Harrisonville, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; sister-in-law, Susie Faw and husband Michael of Drexel; brother-in-law, Kevin Medcalf and wife Pam of Drexel; and parents-in-law, Larry and Glenda Wood. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Duane and LaVaun Law; and one nephew, Bobby Bruse.
