Larry David Stuart, 69 years, of Hominy, Oklahoma, passed away on Monday, April 23, 2018 at his home in Hominy. He was born May 24, 1948 in Pawhuska, Oklahoma to Donald J. and Dorothy Pauline (Zachery) Stuart.
He began his education at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and went on to graduate from Pawhuska High School in 1966. Larry went to Oklahoma State University and graduated with a BS in Finance, then graduated in 1973 from University of Oklahoma College of Law.
Larry went into private practice in Poteau, Oklahoma and then was Assistant District Attorney in District 12 serving Craig, Rogers and Mayes Counties. He returned to Pawhuska in 1976 and entered private practice. Later he filed to run for Osage/Pawnee county District Attorney. He was elected and sworn in on January 2, 1979, where he served uncontested for 32 years. In August of 2006, Larry received the David Moss Memorial Award for Outstanding District Attorney. He was a member of Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity, Osage County Bar Association, Oklahoma Bar Association and Oklahoma Trial Lawyers Association. Upon retirement as District Attorney on December 31, 2010, Larry became Pastor at the First Christian Church in Hominy, where he served until his death. Larry felt that serving God and His people were his most rewarding moments.
Larry very much enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, riding his “Harley”, hunting, fishing, playing golf, visiting the family cabin in New Mexico and as always, the OSU Cowboys. Even though Larry was a Pawhuska Husky, it did not prevent him from becoming an avid Hominy Bucks fan, following his kids and grandkids for many years and always proudly wearing purple. He was extremely proud of his grandchildren and would travel great distances to watch them participate in their favorite activities. A trip to Dallas for a little league baseball games was not unusual.
