Larse E. Mack

Mr. Larse Etalis Mack, lovingly known as “Mac” was born on Saturday, June 25, 1955, in Linden, Texas to Grimmie and Alice (Neal) Mack. Larse was the third child born from this union.

Larse grew up in Kansas City, MO where he received his education in the Kansas City Missouri Public School District. He accepted Christ at a young age at Westminster Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. C.C. Wheeler. His various talents and skills lead him to several jobs around the Kansas City area including Red Lobster and Bob’s N Motion.

Larse married Jeannette M. Taylor on February 27, 1991. Throughout their union, he cherished the opportunity to raise three bonus daughters, embracing each one of them as if they were his own. His flair for fashion was unmatched; he had an eye for colorful suits and shiny shoes that perfectly complemented his vibrant personality. Known for his love of two-stepping, he brought energy to every gathering, lighting up the dance floor and the hearts of those around him. When he wasn’t dancing you could find him bartending at Old Folks or Bob’s N Motion. Family was at the center of his life and he derived immense joy from hanging out with his great nephews, Carter and Maurice, and his great niece Londyn (girl across the hall). Their bond was a testament to his love for family and the joy that relationships brought him.

Larse, age 69, entered into his final rest Saturday night, October 19, 2024. He was preceeded in death by, his son: Larse Mack Jr.; father: Grimmie Mack; brothers: Johnnie Mack, Garry Mack, Larry Cunningham, and Cedric Mack; niece: Shalonda Mack; and nephew: Craig Mack II.

In his blessed memory he leaves behind his mother: Alice Mack; six siblings: Rev. Paul Ray (Caroline) Mack of TX, Vaungrechel Mack, Calvin (Michelle) Mack of MN, Remonia Mack, Craig (Debbie) Mack, Janet Williams; bonus daughters: Ruthann, LaDonna, Annette and LaDonya (Naynay) Chaney; God-son: Demetrius James and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandkids, cousins, extended family and friends.

Larse will be deeply missed by family and friends but most of all by his mom, sisters and brothers.

Larse will be remembered not only for his fashionable flair and joyful spirit but also the love he gave so freely to those around him. His legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and friends with a lasting reminder of the importance of connection, joy, and embracing life with style.
