Larry Peppers,

Sr.

Larry Earl Peppers, Sr., 77, of Thomasville, passed away on Monday, October 9, 2023 in Thomasville, GA. He was born on January 15, 1946, in Moultrie, Georgia. Larry was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, who will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Larry was one of the greatest men there ever was, to know him was to love him. He never met a stranger and loved telling his crazy stories of his wilder times to anyone who would listen. He was caring, loving, humble, genuine, and the king of one-liners and funny sayings. He lived for his family and was the "glue" to so many lives.

Larry is survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Peppers of Thomasville, Georgia; daughter, Kristle (Chad) Lewis of Summerville, Georgia; son, Earl Peppers of Thomasville, Georgia; grandchildren: Kristina (Luke) Carroll of Thomasville, Jennifer (Christopher) Drew of Thomasville, and Isaiah Peppers of Thomasville; and great-grandchildren: Waylon Carroll, Dawson Drew, Raelyn Drew, and Landon Mills. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Rachel Darlene.

Throughout his life, Larry was truly a jack of all trades. He worked as a dispatcher in Jasper, Florida, a truck driver, farmer, and worked especially hard at being his wife's "gopher" as she liked to call him. However, he took great pride in owning his own sanitation business, where he always prioritized making his customers happy. He held many titles throughout his life but "Daddy" and "Papa" were his favorites.

Larry will be remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his love for his family, and his many accomplishments throughout his life. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who knew him.
