Lawrence Adam Wisdom II, also know by his family and friends as Larry, passed away on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 having reached the age of fifty-five years, nine months, and twenty-nine days. Larry was born on October 14, 1964 in St. Louis, Missouri, a son to the late Lawrence A. Wisdom and the late Shirley (Tyree) Wisdom.

Larry’s memory will be forever cherished by all who loved and knew him including his loving wife, Sheila (Kean) Wisdom; five children: Chelsea Pigg and husband Casey, Andrew Wisdom and wife Jamie, Kenny Wisdom and wife Katey, Brandon Wisdom, Brian Wisdom and wife Torrie; step daughter, Cara Isaac and husband Rick; fourteen grandchildren: Jaxon, Ashlynne, Mason, Trevor, Brayden, Dallas, Adrianna Brantley, Cheyenne, Wesley, Ronan, Cameron, Elizabeth, and Elijah; sister, Covonda Chrismer and husband Joey Filichia; three nieces and two nephews: Jennifer Ferguson, Sarah Ruderman and husband Josh, Lauren Miller and husband Tom, Jonathan Bauer and wife Erin, and Jordan Chrismer and wife Amanda.

Larry is preceded in death by his father and mother, Lawrence and Shirley Wisdom; and his step son, Zachary Wright.

On September 24, 2016, Larry was united in marriage to Sheila (Kean) Wright and they shared three years and ten months together. During their marriage, Larry and Sheila made some wonderful memories together. From Cardinal Baseball games, to concerts, to one of Larry’s favorites, the Apple Butter Festival. Sheila truly loved Larry and was grateful that he helped her overcome one of the hardest times in her life that she faced, the passing of her son Zachary. Larry brought sunshine in the midst of her pain.

Larry loved his children and grandchildren with all his heart. They were his life. He enjoyed spending time with them and every chance he got to play jokes on them. If the weather was nice, Larry loved going for bike rides on his Harley Davidson. In addition to his motorcycle, Larry was always up for BBQ’s, and especially some of Chelsea’s potato salad. His legacy will forever live on through his family.
