Nettleton—Larry Wayne Presley, 48, passed away on Thursday, July 16, 2020, at his residence in Nettleton. Born in Okolona, Mississippi, on March 8, 1972, he was a son of the late Marion Eugene Presley and Peggy Jo Louis Presley.
Larry attended Nettleton and Hatley schools in his younger days, and worked as a painter for many years with Cook and Riley, as well as with his brother’s company, Presley’s Painting. He was known as “Tater” and was truly a one-of-a-kind man. Larry was raised up in the Baptist faith and always kept his faith in the Lord. He relished the outdoors and enjoyed spending many days fishing and hunting. He assisted his brother in deer processing and liked to make venison jerky. Larry taught his daughter, Cheyanne, to fish and loved taking her out for a day of fishing. True happiness for Larry was sitting near the water with his loved ones and catching some good catfish.
Larry loved listening to George Jones, Hank Williams, and the other country and western singers. In his free time, you could find him watching Wrestling on the TV, or watching storage wars and the street races in Memphis, Tennessee. He made a friend in every person he met and was well loved by his friends and family. He will be dearly missed.
Larry is survived by his wife, Sabrina Gunter Presley; daughter, Cheyanne Presley; stepchildren, Zena Strippling and Shakota Gray; grandchildren, Sadie Jane Gray, Browning Eddie Wayne Gray; sister, Tonya Presley; brother, Joey Dewayne Presley (Kim); and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and Uncle, Elvis Presley.
No services are scheduled at this time.

Dear Presley family, you have my deepest sympathy in this time of bereavement. The death of a loved one can be hard to bear but you’re not alone. In the bible at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4, God promises to comfort us in all our trials and he will do just that. And at Acts24:15 it says there is going to be a resurrection, Isn’t that wonderful to know. So you can see you dear loved ones again.
