************************************************************************Dassie Larue Standard, known affectionately as “Lying Larue” or “Back in Love Standard” by those who cherished him, completed his earthly journey on January 19, 2025, in San Diego, California. Born on December 19, 1954, in Memphis, Tennessee, Larue carried the warm southern charm throughout his life and became a loved figure in the city of San Diego.
Larue’s early education in the San Diego School District, where he proudly sported the colors of the Lincoln Hornets, laid the foundation for a life dedicated to nurturing others. His career was marked by a sincere commitment and passion to community, particularly working with youth. Larue’s natural ability to connect with younger generations made him a favorite among the youth he mentored. His passion for service extended into his work at local hospitals. A regular at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Larue contributed his time and energy to ensure that every event he worked was filled with laughter.
He loved watching cartoons, a pastime that kept him young at heart and allowed him to bond with his nieces and nephews whom he adored babysitting. Above all, Larue was a family man. He treasured every moment spent with his relatives and knew the value of kinship and love.
Larue’s memory will be cherished by his loving family.
He was preceded in death by his brother Marvin, his son Dassie Jr., and his grandson Caiden Allen.
His legacy lives on through his four children; Marvin Standard, Natasha Garner (Kenneth Garner), Branden Standard, and Whitney Turner (Christopher Turner), siblings; Kevin Standard, Fonda Standard, Natalie Standard, and Mark Standard, his adored eight grandchildren; Kianna, Marvin, Laila, Amaya, Branden, Malayah, Destinee, and Peyton, aunts; Juanita Lucious, Clara Sharpe, Shirley Whiting, Clora Plunkett, and Margaret Wilson, along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.
The words thoughtful, loving, and faith-filled summarize the spirit of Larue. His passion for reading the bible, praying with and for others, and sharing the love of Jesus with anyone he met were the foundation of his existence.
As we bid farewell to Larue, we celebrate a life full of purpose, kindness, and a deep-seated faith that inspired everyone he encountered. Rest in peace, Larue. Your journey on earth has concluded, but your story—marked by love, faith, and compassion—will continue to be told.
