Larry Wayne Fields

Larry W. Fields, 75 of Hodgenville, KY went to his long awaited home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, February 8, 2025. That very hour heaven's singers sang sweeter, and the guitars strings played a little grander.

Larry passed from this life surrounded by his family whom deeply loved especially his children and grandchildren. He was a friend to everyone and loved to make people laugh. 

He was an ordained minister and member of Hill Top General Baptist Church in Shepherdsville, KY. He loved talking, preaching and singing about the God that he worshiped, and wanted to make sure everyone else knew the God he served and the one of his greatest passions was playing his guitar and singing Southern Gospel Music. 

Larry was a home builder by trade for most of his life, then became a Tour Bus driver which afforded him the opportunity to meet and entertain many people with is humor and quick wit.

He is preceded in death by his parents James Ervin Fields and Annie Kathryn (Brown), a nephew James Earl Jessie and three brother-in-laws Oneal England, Larry Thompson and Tony Perkins.

He is survived by his wife Carolyn Saltsman of Hodgenville, daughter Michelle Wright of Lexington, son Christopher (Missy) Fields of Taylorsville and a stepdaughter Julie (David) Smith of Bardstown, eight grandchildren Jared (Baileigh)Wright, Caleb (Sierra) Wright, Lucas Wright, Bradley, Callie, Jacob and Isaac Fields, Carson, Hayden, Noah, Isacc and Emma Smith, two great grandchildren Levi and Wyatt Wright,  three sisters Carolyn Thompson of Laverne, TN, Marilyn Perkins of Edmonton, KY and Joyce Fields of Louisville, KY.  He is also survived by several nieces and nephews. 

Our Great Loss is Heaven's Gain.
