Mr. Lawrence "Larry" Fague, 84, of Winfield, Missouri, passed away on Sunday, May 11, 2025 at his residence. He was born on  October 29, 1940 in St. Louis to Walter and Bertha (Dulle) Fague.  Larry attended grade school in St. Louis at St. Louise de Marillac and graduated from Laboure HIgh School.

After high school, he entered the U.S. Army Reserves and served his country from 1959-1965.  While he was in high school, he met his sweetheart, Carol.  They were married on Sept. 2, 1961 in St. Louis.  To this union were born five children.  The couple first lived in Walnut Park and for the majority of the next 22 years lived in Florissant and Dellwood.

Then for 17 years the couple moved to  Lake of the Ozarks where they enjoyed sailing and fishing with their children and grandchildren.  In 2001, they moved to Winfield in Lincoln County.  Larry's career as a photographer began at age 16 when he shot his first wedding.  Over the years, Fague Photography was a staple in St. Charles, Lincoln and Warren Counties. He was a big part of many weddings and other celebrations.

His family describes him as "outgoing, corny, adventurous, loved the water and never met a stranger". Larry loved sailing, genealogy, inventing things and researching the Short Line Railroad. He was curious about everything and was full of enthusiasm.  He will be sadly missed and long remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.
