Larry Wyche

Larry Glenn Wyche, son of Elmer Dee and Margaret Arizona (Smith) Wyche, was born on May 19, 1939 in Rocky Chapel, Oklahoma and passed from this life to enter the big rodeo in the sky on December 29, 2021 in Stilwell, Oklahoma at 82 years, 7 months and 10 days.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Elmer and Margaret, sisters: Arlene (Bryan) Drennen, Juanita (Denzel) Sherrell, Sue Jordan, Lou (Glenn) McElroy, Ruth (Buster) Mathews and brother: Gerald (Cis) Wyche.

Larry is survived by his wife of 54 years, Lou Jean Wyche, daughters: Tracy Davenport and husband Bret, Stacy Wyche, grandchildren: Rainey Phillips, Charles Howell, Colby Philpott, Riley O’Neal, Jake Wilson, great granddaughter: Sadlynn Joy Howell, brother: Dale Wyche, in laws: David & Phyllis Walton, Onus Jordan.  He is also survived by the best neighbor, Carl Unger, cowboy Nathan McCullum and too many Rodeo Family to name.

He graduated from McLish High School in 1957 and moved to the Stilwell area around 1959.  Larry and his brother, Gerald, started the Wyche Brothers Rodeo Company and produced for several rodeos in the 4 state area.  After Gerald retired, Larry and Lou Jean became the Diamond L Rodeo Company.  During these years, he never met a stranger and along the way made many friends.

Larry never turned down an adventure, which led him to build a cattle ranch in Africa.  He spent several years out of the country, flying in cattle and cowhands.  He received many awards in rodeos and loved the sport whole heartedly.

Larry enjoyed spending time with his family, bucking bulls and looking at his cattle.  Big “L” enjoyed working with his ranch hands and yelling at them to “get off the fence”.

! He Always Loved a Good Hookin!
