Larry Lee “Pops” Stutzman, 69, returned to his heavenly home on Sept. 23, 2015, at 5 p.m. after a valiant battle with a long illness. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in god supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.

He resided with his wife in Devine, Texas. His family remembers him as a kind and patient man who encouraged them to pursue their goals.
