Larry Hale Obituary
Larry was born on April 18, 1951 to William Vernon (Buck) Hale and Mabellean Hale in San Angelo, TX. Larry Don married Debbie Hale on October 31, 1993, and became inseparable from that day. They celebrated over 30 wonderful years together.
Larry was a skilled mechanic with a deep love for the outdoors and the mountains. In his younger years, he helped build bridges-work that reflected both his strength and his love for adventure. He found peace in hiking, long walks, and being surrounded by nature. Known for his humor and easygoing spirit, he always carried a smile and shared it freely with others. His laughter, love of the outdoors, and quirky sayings, "oh huh," will be deeply missed.
Larry Don is survived by his wife, Debbie Hale of Yreka; daughters, Cher and husband Steven Coots of Stephenville, TX and Shawna Lucas of Hico, TX; son, Joshua Hale of Hico, TX. Grandkids:
Bryce Senn of Eastland, TX, James Coots & Arcie Langston of Stephenville, TX, Hannah Coots & Dalton Dumas of Stephenville, TX, Destiny Hale & Ken Bowers of Princeton, TX, Cade Lingle & Tessa Lueck of Stephenville, TX, Alexia Morales & Britt Epley of Hico, TX, Jewels Lucas of Hico, TX, Lane Lucas of Hico, TX, and Jalen Hale of Hico, TX. Great grandkids: Ryland, Aiden, Chase, Cameron, Bryson, Kailynne, Kayson, Abel, Larkin, Heston, Sybil & Emma. Brother, Berlie Bess & wife Kathy of Springfield, AR and sisters, Verna Hale Shinn of Stephenville, TX, Cathy Ladean Hale Davis of Trinity Center, CA, and Renee & husband Allen McMorrow of Reedsport, OR, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends.
Larry was preceded in death by his father, William Vernon (Buck) Hale, mother, Mabellean Hale, and two brothers, William Vernon (Bucky) Hale Jr and Ronnie Dale Hale.
Memorial Services have been set for Friday, January 30, 2026 at 1:00pm in his home in Yreka, CA. Burial will be at Aubrey Ranch near Happy Camp, CA at a later date.
