Larry Littler, age 69, of Butterfield, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at his home, surrounded by the place and people he loved.

Larry was born on March 7, 1956, in Des Moines, Iowa, to Robert and Geraldine (Hager) Littler. On May 17, 1986, he married the love of his life, Chris Meyerkord. Their marriage was built on love, commitment, and unwavering support, and together they shared a life full of cherished memories.

Larry's heart belonged to his community, and nowhere was that more evident than in his service with the Butterfield Fire Department. Being a firefighter was more than a role to Larry it was a calling. He took great pride in protecting and serving others, always answering the call with courage, compassion, and selflessness. His fellow firefighters were more than coworkers; they were family, and the fire department held a special place in his heart throughout his life.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Chris; four sons, Travis Littler and fiancé Kristin, Mitchell Littler, Nicholas Littler, and Christopher Littler.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Memorials may be made to the Butterfield Fire Department Auxiliary and entrusted to White Funeral Home and Crematory.

Arrangements are under the direction of White Funeral Home and Crematory.
