Larry Dale Schneider, 77, of North Platte passed away at his home on Feb. 1, 2026.

He was born one of four children to Laverne “L.V.” and Hazel “Jean” (Callaway) Schneider in North Platte on July 19, 1948.

Larry was raised in North Platte, graduating with the class of 1966. After completing high school, Larry enlisted into the United States Army where he was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, serving as an Intel Specialist. Larry was honorably discharged in 1972 with recognition as a rifle expert and receiving a National Defense Service Medal. Upon his return home from the military, Larry met and married Jeannie Ann Dolan, and together they had four boys, Rodger, Rusty, Rocky, and Luke. The couple eventually divorced and Larry later married Sue Beford, welcoming her kids, Molly and Jeff, as stepchildren. After returning to school and receiving his associate’s degree, Larry began a career as a car salesman, working for Western Motors until 1989. Larry was always known for his sarcastic, yet hilarious, sense of humor. As his career in the military highlighted, he was an amazing shot and loved to hunt birds.

Survivors include his children, Rusty (Kim) Schneider, Rocky (Shaunna) Schneider, Luke (Ashley) Schneider; step daughter, Molly Beford; grandchildren, Preston, Pierce, Madeline, Lexi, Talan, Emma, and Shelby; siblings, Marcy, Rodger, and Dick; other family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Laverne and Hazel; his son, Rodger; grandson, Cody.
