Larry Dean Anderson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Larry Dean Anderson, 60, passed away unexpectedly due to complications of surgery on March 3, 2020. He was born January 7, 1960 in Provo, Utah, to Don F. Anderson and Bonnie A. Morgan Anderson. Larry’s love of the outdoors began at an early age. As a child, Larry enjoyed riding horses with his friends and playing in the fields and gullies all over Lindon. As Larry grew older, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. One of his most memorable family vacations was a trip to Canada where he caught his prized fish. He also enjoyed vacations to Alaska with his family and later with his sons. One of his most cherished friends as a youth was his dog, Jake. Larry graduated from Pleasant Grove High School in 1978 and later earned his General Contractors License which led to him owning his own business, Larry Anderson Construction. He used his knowledge to teach his boys the trades of the construction business. Larry married Shirlene Dovey and they had one son, Kyle. They later divorced. Larry met Carol Johnson in 1984. They were married in 1987 and later sealed in the Provo Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Larry became a loving father to Carol’s two sons, Luke and Colby Anderton. Together they had two more sons; Jeremy and Alex and later were finally blessed with their baby girl, Merissa. At that point, they had completed their basketball team! Larry was a devoted father who had a wonderful relationship with each of his children and never missed an opportunity to teach them; especially about the outdoors, camping and fishing. He was always there to help with any small project with which they needed guidance. He was willing to help, but also allowed his children their independence and agency to pursue their own interests. Larry was awarded his Eagle Scout and was an Elder in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Larry loved family trips to Lake Powell with his wife, children and extended family. We will cherish these memories always. Larry was a “jack of all trades” who used his skills and abilities to help and bless the lives of others. Larry was giving and very forgiving. He will never be forgotten. Larry was preceded in death by his father Don; his beloved daughter, Merissa; his niece, Aleisha; his grandson, Daxton and many uncles and aunts. He is survived by his loving wife, Carol; his sons, Luke, Kyle (Whitney), Colby (Jade), Jeremy (Kali) and Alex (Megan); his mother, Bonnie; brother, Edward (Janell); sister, Judy; 7 grandchildren and his dogs, Jerzey and Jade. The family would like to express gratitude to many medical professionals who worked endlessly caring for Larry.
