Larry David Jenkerson was born on November 19, 1937 and passed into peace on June 3, 2019 in the care of loved ones at home in Ballwin, Missouri. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, trusted friend and mechanic to many and king of the road to all who knew him. Larry enjoyed spending time with friends and family, reading and traveling, especially when he was driving. He was an avid fan of Cardinal's baseball and Blue's hockey. Larry enjoyed car races even more.

Larry is remembered by Grace, his adoring wife of 62 years and their three children Carol (John) Hollingsworth, Valorie (Tim) O'Mara, and Larry (Denise) Jenkerson Jr. He leaves behind a legacy of seven grandchildren, William McGehee (Kat), Sara Graham (Joe), Patrick O'Mara (Jean), Sean O'Mara (Julie), Steven Burian, Kevin O'Mara, Jeremy Jenkerson and four great-grandchildren, Carolynn and Elijah Graham, Kaitlin McGehee and Grant O'Mara). He was preceded in death by his cherished daughter Chris Tina Jenkerson; sister Helen Evans; brothers Robert and Carl Jenkerson; parents Zelmer and Alice Jinkerson; and his beloved grandmother Ada Sherrill.
