Larry J. Estridge went home with the Lord on January 8, 2024, at Heritage House of Connersville, at the age of 74.  Larry was the son of the late Edward Estridge and Dorothy Maxwell Blakely, born in Connersville on October 21, 1949.

Larry graduated from Connersville High School in 1969 and enlisted in the United States Army.  He was assigned to the Ordinance Division from 1969 to 1972.  Larry served 13 months in Vietnam and then stationed in Heilbronn Germany.

After his honorable discharge from the Army, he went to work as a truck driver for Carl Subler Trucking.  He retired after several years of service from Ford/Visteon in 2007 as a truck driver.  Larry enjoyed camping and looked forward to a beautiful campfire.  He also enjoyed watching movies on his huge TV.  Larry lived a simple life, and his most valuable treasure was the time he spent with his family.

He has left behind to cherish his love and memory, his three children, Christina (Roy Caplinger) Whittle of Connersville, Charity (Brandon Hatfield) Mullins of Hagerstown and Josh Estridge of Cambridge City and the mother of his three children, Deborah Bailey.  He will be thought of often by his grandchildren, Nicholas (Shania) Whittle of Anderson, Nathan Whittle, currently serving with the US Army at Fort Gregg-Adams, in Virginia, Jacob (Alexandra) Mullins of Connersville and Mason Mullins of Connersville; two great grandchildren, Averlee and Jesse Mullins; two aunts, Marylyn Maxwell and Beverly Maxwell; as well as several cousins.

Larry is preceded in death by his parents.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that memorial contributions be made to Wolf Creek Habitat and Rescue, 14099 Wolfe Creek Road, Brookville, IN 47024.

Funeral services will be conducted by Pastor Chris Lovett at Urban Winkler Funeral Home, on Friday January 12, 2024, at 6:00 pm.  Friends and family may gather from 4:00 pm until the hour of the service.
