Larry John Brower, 82, of Rogers, Arkansas, a former longtime resident of Kimball, Nebraska, sadly passed away on January 22,2024.

Larry was born on January 27, 1941, in Arnold, Nebraska, to Gerrit and Miriam Brower.

He lived to serve his community and family. He was a Nebraska State Patrolman for 27 years, a Kimball County Commissioner for 20 years, ran a local Kimball repair shop for over 40 years, and served various roles in the Church of the Nazarene. One of his later accomplishments was helping people and businesses in the Nebraska panhandle save money through Choice Gas Selection and earning the nickname through the local paper "The Gas Buster." Of course, we must add that he was a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan until the end, displaying his support in Arkansas.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerrit and Miriam, and siblings, Ruth, Dorothy, Melvin, and Gerald.
