Larry Bagwell, a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, faithful friend, and longtime member of Community Baptist Church, entered Heaven's gates on May 21, 2025.

He was born on November 28, 1947 in Brookhaven, Mississippi, Larry lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service. He proudly served his country as a veteran of the United States Army. After his military service, he spent most of his career working in the oil field industry before retiring. Never one to slow down, Larry later worked as a courier for St. Francis Hospital until his second retirement.

Larry found joy in life's simple blessings. He loved to fish, mow, and piddle in his shed-always working on something. He was the kind of man who never sat still for long. He was always ready to lend a hand, share a story, or check in on someone he cared about. He loved his family with all his heart, treasured his friends, and was deeply committed to his church. One of his greatest joys was sharing the love of the Lord with others. With a heart of gold, Larry was always willing to help anyone in need.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Esco and Fredna Bagwell.

Left to celebrate his life are his loving wife of fifty-two years, Pam Williams Bagwell; daughter, Sunnie Bagwell of Monroe; son, Ron Bagwell of West Monroe; Grandchildren, Abbigale Jones, Aaron Jones, Annabell Bagwell, and Wyatt Bagwell; sisters, Rita Blaylock of Sanford, FL, and Millie Moreland and her husband, David of West Monroe; and his brother, Richard Bagwell of Pecan Island, LA and wife, Bea Bagwell. Larry is also lovingly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the wonderful and caring nurses of Louisiana Hospice and Palliative Care as well as the doctors and nurses on the 5th floor at St. Francis.

Larry's life reflected the words of Proverbs 20:7: "The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him. "

Pallbearers will be Wyatt Bagwell, Aaron Jones, Noah Hatten, Richard "Tsos" Bagwell, Thad Bagwell, and Brad Moreland.
