Larry Dean Gammill, 71, passed away at home in Timbo, Arkansas on February 10, 2020. Larry was born on March 23, 1948 at Fairview, Arkansas to the late Carbin and Lillie (Balentine) Gammill. Larry was a farmer and worked several years hauling sawdust, operating a backhoe and bull dozer. He enjoyed fishing, camping, and hunting, but mostly he loved being in politics. He could spin a yarn with the best of them. He enjoyed making deals, telling tall tales, and pulling pranks. He served on the Timbo School Board for 5 years. He also served as Justice of the Peace for Stone County District #2 for 22 years, and on the 12 member governing board of Little Rock for 12 years. He loved serving the people, and he never met a stranger. The main loves of his life were his family, his children, and grandchildren. He was proud of each one of them.

Larry is survived by his wife Sylvia (Cowell) Gammill with whom he spent the last 50 years; one daughter Ladeanna and husband Shawn Strutton of Timbo, Arkansas; daughters-in-law, Carrie Gammill of Timbo, Arkansas and Jennifer Gammill of Little Rock, Arkansas; six grandchildren, Samaya Strutton of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Kamayka and husband Jacob Fry of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Jacob Strutton of Timbo, Arkansas, Kyler Gammill and Kolton Gammill of Timbo, Arkansas and Emily Gammill of Little Rock, Arkansas; one sister, Kim and husband Richard Morrison and their son Destin Morrison of Timbo, Arkansas; mother-in-law, Flora Cowell of Jonesboro, Arkansas; 33 nieces and nephews, and numerous family and friends.
