In Loving Memory of Stanley H Larsen

August 26, 1954 – December 30, 2023

Stan was raised on a small farm in Mapleton, Utah. He was the oldest of 14 and by the time he was six years old, he had five sisters. He said “if you picked on one you had to take them all on.”

He learned how to work by watching his Dad. Together they would milk the cows, clean the barn, chicken coop, pig pen, clean the ditches, paint, dig, build and serve. Stan didn’t stop working and serving until he literally couldn’t anymore.

Stan joined the Army in 1973 and was stationed in Germany. He was proud to serve his country. In the end, the Central Utah Veterans Home was his final stop. It was such a blessing for him to get that amount of attention and care.

During his lifetime, Stan raised his family of five children in West Valley, Utah. His career in animal control was a testament to his dedication and love for wildlife. But what mattered most to him was his family. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he strived to serve them the best he knew how.

In his final moments, surrounded by family, Stan was able to say his heartfelt goodbyes, leaving a profound imprint on their hearts. Stan will be remembered as a man of courage, work and service.

Stan Larsen is survived by his loving mother, Beth Larsen; his beloved sons, Brandon, Chad, and Luke Larsen; his cherished daughters, Alysha Larsen and Sabrina Larsen Wilson. He is preceded in death by his father, Ferrus Larsen, and sisters, Marilyn Larsen Francis and Kay Lynn Larsen.
