Larry Dale Adkins, 69, of Omar, WV, departed this life on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at Logan Regional Medical Center at Logan, WV.

He was born April 24, 1955, at Logan, WV, the son of the late Bernie and Evelyn Trent Adkins.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, Bernie Adkins, Jr.; one sister, June Lawson; and his furever friend, Put Put.

Larry worked in mining repair. His dedication to his craft made him a respected figure in the mining community. Beyond his professional achievements, Larry was an avid outdoorsman. He possessed a strong passion for hunting and fishing. His love and knowledge of the great outdoors was matched by his skill in dog trading, an interest that made him a celebrity at the Trading Post. Above all, Larry was a family man. He was a devoted father, always eager to spend time with his children. He was also a loving grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and his memory will continue to inspire those he leaves behind.
