Obituary of Larry Reynolds

Larry Oliver Reynolds, beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away at home after a year-long battle with cancer on February 5, 2026, in Shelton, Washington. Larry was born on May 17, 1950, to Oliver Reynolds and Wanda Prettyman in Harrisonville Missouri. After his father’s death, Wanda remarried Mike “Pops” McClurg, who became an important part of Larry’s life. Larry was drafted into the United States Army and served during the Vietnam War. Following his honorable discharge, he was a highly sought-after journeyman machinist for forty years and eventually retired from the Bremerton Naval Shipyard in 2015. Larry loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing both on land and from his boat, sharing many memorable trips with friends. He also loved camping in his RV and taking hunting trips with friends and family. A devoted sports fan, Larry was an avid supporter of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners. Larry is survived by his loving wife, Kathleen; his brother, Shane McClurg; his children, Joshua Reynolds and Aimee Brentson; his grandchild, Caitlin Hunt and multiple great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Oliver, Wanda, and Pops, and his brothers, Jay and Jimmy Dale Reynolds.
