Larry Preston Dupre, who passed away on Nov. 18th at the age of 67. Born in Kilgore, TX on February 9, 1956 to Louis George (L.G.) Dupre and Ada (Sissy) Maxine Dupre, Larry's journey took an adventurous turn when his father traded in his Baltimore Colts jersey for the iconic Dallas Cowboys. His family's relocation to Texas marked the beginning of Larry's own football journey, proudly representing Highland Park and Texas Tech as a safety. His love of the sport became an integral part of his identity, mirroring the legacy of his father's storied career. Larry was a successful mortgage broker, yet his greatest triumphs were out of the office where he embraced the roles that truly defined hima loving father and an incredible friend who knew the heartbeat of our town. Larry found solace and joy in the world of music, from the anthems of U2 to the timeless rhythms of The Rolling Stones. He was a devoted Christian, avid reader, and outstanding storyteller. Larry and his former wife, Karla, crafted a playbook of friendship that withstood the test of time. Their bond weathered life's ups and downs, leaving an inspiring legacy of amicable co-parenting that echoes through the lives of their children, who were the center of his world. He is survived by Karla Dupre and their five children: Meagan Burroughs (Scott), Darby Dupre, Demi Dupre, Preston Dupre, and Delaney Dupre as well as two grandchildren, Sylvan and Rem Burroughs. He is also survived by his sister, Nancy Dupre Guthrie (Raymond), and his niece Jessica Barnhill (Andrew) and their daughter Mary Louise. Rest in peace, Larry, and may the afterlife be your grandest party yet. The memorial service will be Thursday, December 7th at 1:00 pm at First Baptist Dallas (Truett Chapel). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Liver Foundation at liverfoundation.org.
