Larry Douglass Obituary
Larry Dean Douglass was born Feb. 19, 1948, in Loup City to Jerold and Jacqueline (Hofer) Douglass.
Larry grew up on the ranch south of Brewster. He attended and graduated from Brewster High School in 1966.
After high school, Larry started at Grand Island School of Business but then was drafted into the Army Jan. 11, 1967, and was honorably discharged Dec. 22, 1968.
Larry was united in marriage March 8, 1969, to Donna Guggenmos in Ainsworth. He worked for Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center. Then the couple returned to Brewster where he worked for several ranchers. In 1971 Larry went to work with his father on the ranch. Plus, he managed the Monahan Ranch east of Brewster for several years.
Larry and Donna were blessed with three children - Terrence, Nov. 15, 1969; Clinton, July 29, 1976; and Holly, Jan. 6, 1985. Larry retired in 2015 moving to their current location south of Brewster.
In his spare time Larry enjoyed watching sports on TV as well as listening to his grandsons' games on the radio. He also enjoyed going to cattle and farm sales and brandings. Larry loved to tell stories – sometimes slightly embellished. His family and friends will miss his dry/ornery sense of humor.
Larry is survived by his wife Donna of Brewster; son Terry (Donna) Douglass of Grand Island; daughter Holly (Rich) Kennedy of Oshkosh; five grandsons Brooks, Broc, Bo, Brady and Hunter; sister Linda (Carol) Conard of Burwell; sister-in-law Bridget Douglass of Broken Bow; Uncle Vance (Jan) Douglass of Ashby; Aunt Dorothy Douglass of North Platte; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Larry was preceded in death by his parents Jerold and Jacqueline; son Clinton; and brother Steve Douglass.
Funeral services will be Friday, March 10 at 10:30 a.m. at the Brewster Community Center in Brewster with Pastor Lee Wonch officiating. Burial with Military Honors will be in the Brewster Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the family for later designation.
Visitation will take place Thursday, March 9, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.with family greeting 5-6 p.m. at Govier Brothers Mortuary in Broken Bow.

I was sorry to hear that Larry passed. I remember him in school. He was four years ahead of me, but in such a small school, we knew one another really well. I hope his family finds solace in their memories. May Larry Rest In Peace.
