Larry Matlock, 63, a newbie of Pontiac, MO suddenly passed away on April 26, 2025. Larry was born in St Louis, MO on February 5, 1962 to Larry and Mary Matlock.
Larry spent his life living in different areas of Colorado. While in high school, Larry took on a job for the city of Rifle, digging grave sites and various jobs in the cemetery. After graduating high school, he continued with the city, and again to follow with his retirement. During his 37 years he picked up trash, patched streets, worked both water and sewer lines, plowing snow…you name it, he did it.
In 1991 he married Janice Barner along with her son from a previous marriage. Janice was born in Gainesville, MO to L.C. and Jean Barner. Again, this wonderful man was an awesome father to Janice’s son, Jason Matlock.

Larry is survived by his father, Larry Matlock; his wife Janice; son Jason; older sister Cindy and husband Jeff; younger sister Daisy and husband Jon; granddaughter Shantelle; along with many nieces, nephews and their families.
He was preceded in death by his father-in-law, L.C. Barner; his mother, Mary Matlock.
