Larry Dean Bagley

Larry Dean Bagley passed away March 16, 2019 peacefully at his home surrounded by his family. He was born September 17, 1946, to Darrel Bagley and Ruth "Rice" Long,  in Wray, Colorado.  He was the oldest of 2 children.  He grew up on the family ranch working cattle and farming beside his Dad.  He graduated from Eagle Valley High School in 1964.  He excelled in football and rodeo. Larry’s Dad lost his hands in a farming accident so Larry gave up his college to stay and keep the family ranch running. He married Eleen Burton and 3 children came of the marriage  - Bobbi Jo, Steven Wayne and Amanda Jo.  They lived on a ranch in Salmon, Idaho for many years.  In addition to his ranching, he had a small dairy and started a trucking business.  He had a strong work ethic that never left him.  While trucking he met the love of his life, Diane Nuhn at the Port of Entry in Alpine, Wyoming .  He vowed to marry her to prevent any more  tickets.  They were married in June, 1995.  They moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon to live for the next 21 years.  Larry continued trucking and helping his father out on the ranch until his health no longer allowed him too.   He then put drivers in the truck and ran his trucking business from his home.  As his health continued to deteriorate, he made the decision to sell the trucks and move to Jerome, Idaho to be closer to family and close friends.  Larry and Diane moved to Jerome in April of 2018. He is preceded in death by a son and a daughter and his father.  He is survived by wife Diane of Jerome, daughter Bobbi Jo(Marc) Kinnison of Twin Falls, Son Steven Wayne(Bethany)Bagley of La Center Washington, Amanda Jo McLin of Bonanza Oregon, 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, his mom and step dad Ruth and Harry Long of Salmon Idaho, Mom Traudy Bagley of Salmon, ID and sister Diann (Jerry) Gregson of Salmon, Idaho.
