Larry Warnke Obituary

Visit the Tri-County Funeral Home - Highland website to view the full obituary.

Larry Warnke was born in Hazleton, Iowa to Arthur and Eleanor Warnke on January 22, 1942. He died November 15, 2025 after a sudden illness. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, and two sisters.

He is survived by his wife, Patsy; two daughters, Nichole Champoux (Kevin) and Dawn Dawson; four grandchildren: Cody, Jacob, Jesse, and Paige; one great-granddaughter, Harper; one brother, Jack; two sisters, Deonne and Pam; many other relatives and good friends. 

Larry was a good man. He was a big man with large hands and a heart that loved Jesus. He gave Bibles to unbelievers so they would know the Word of God. We are sad, but the angels in heaven rejoice. He has seen Heaven and is walking with Jesus, pain free. 

A memorial service will be at a later date.
