Larry Kent Mabe went to his Heavenly home on Jan. 31, 2026.

He was born in Pulaski, Virginia, to Miles G. Mabe and Reba M. Hughes. The family later moved to Heiskell, Tennessee, where Larry was raised alongside his two brothers and three sisters.

Larry loved life in the Smoky Mountains and enjoyed hiking with his dog, dancing, working on home and auto projects, traveling, helping others and studying the Bible.

He was a loving father to two daughters, Laura Huff and Darla Laffey, both of Chillicothe, Missouri.

He was preceded in death by his parents; all of his siblings; and his youngest daughter, Darla.

Larry is survived by his daughter, Laura Huff; three granddaughters, Adrian Cooper, Sidni Esposito and Jessie Lee; and six great-grandchildren, all of Chillicothe, Missouri. He also leaves behind many friends and extended family members.

Larry was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
