Larry Lee Moughler, 79, passed away on July 16, 2016, in Fort Wayne, surrounded by his family.
He was born October 4, 1936 in Butler to Ora and Majel (Knox) Moughler. Larry was a lifelong resident and farmer of Butler.

Besides his constant service to his family, he also served his community on several boards including his church, the DeKalb Agri Co-op, and currently as a DeKalb County Councilman. He was a perfect example of a husband, father, grandfather, and Christ-like man of God. He was a member of County Line Church of God.
