Larry Dean Sallee, age 62, of Coffeyville, Kansas passed away on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at CRMC in Coffeyville.
Larry was born on October 8, 1963, in Coffeyville, Kansas to Robert and Ruby (Sloan) Sallee. He grew up in Coffeyville where he attended local schools, graduating from Field Kindley Memorial High School.
On February 11, 1984, he married the love of his life, Amy Lou Loffer at the First Baptist Church in Coffeyville. They had two sons, Laramie and Wade, that they adored. Larry took great pride in guiding and teaching his boys all the knowledge and wisdom he could offer. For a few years Larry worked for his father’s construction business, but he found a career as a Knock Engine Operator at the Coffeyville Refinery where he worked in the lab for over 32 years until his retirement. He was a member of the I.U.O.E. Local #123 and a member of the First Baptist Church in Coffeyville where he and Amy attended for many years.
Larry loved the outdoors, he would take his dog, Sage, for a ride every day in the side-by-side just moseying around. He enjoyed the times he took his grandsons fishing. Most of all he loved the time he and Amy spent surrounded by their family and friends; celebrating all their achievements, big and small, spending the holidays together and sharing moments that his family will cherish for many years to come.
