Lawrence Powell Obituary
"Larry"
Lawrence Dean Powell, Larry, beloved son of Keith and Loyce Powell passed away suddenly on December 14, 2019, after valiantly fighting pancreatic cancer for the last year.
Larry was born in Midvale, Utah, on February 27, 1964 and spent his entire life there. He graduated from Hillcrest High School and worked for many years in customer service at Home Depot, Lowe's and Harbor Freight. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Stevens-Henager and got his dream job at Dell EMC where he worked until he became ill.
Larry's great love in life was fishing in the great outdoors. He especially loved going fishing in West Yellowstone with his cousins and friends.
Larry was preceded in death by his father last March. He is survived by his mother and two sisters Stephe and Amanda. He is also survived by his beloved nephew, Jagar Dean Powell, whom he adored. His last wish was to take his family to Hawaii for Christmas. We have opted to honor this wish. A Celebration of Life will be planned when we return.
His family would also like to thank his cousins and friends for their love and support, especially his special friend Debbie. We also want to thank the Huntsman Cancer Hospital and the wonderful support of Dr. Ignacio Garrido and his team, Kristin, Muslima, Jenna and Connie.

What everyone is saying about Larry's Bright and vivid personality is 100% true. I've always considered Larry as more of a friend than co-worker. You will be missed my friend.

Thank you, Larry, for 11 years of friendship and support. I will remember forever the days we chatted and laughed for hours at a time. The light of your spirit and the love you had for your family and friends will burn on. It will have to suffice because you being in pain had to stop. It is with utmost sorrow and a heart torn asunder, I say goodbye for the last time. Farewell my friend Larry Dean, until we meet again.

I had the opportunity to work with Larry for the past few years at DellEMC and remember him as one of the most positive people I've ever met. He was passionate about his sports teams and wanted to lift you up when he could. He will be missed for sure.

I had the opportunity to work with Larry for the past few years at EMC and remember him as one of the most positive people I've ever met. His positivity was also grounded in clear eyes towards the reality around us, and his insights were filled with wisdom and humor. I also got the opportunity to golf with Larry on a number of occasions, and his positive demeanor was unaffected by sand traps, trees and ponds. A true testament to the inner peace and joy that Larry possessed and shared with those around him.

Larry, you were such a great friend. You shared everything you had with others. You could be counted on for just about anything. You were my partner in school, and we stayed friends from then on. I am glad I was the one you spent so much time with at the end. There is definitely a hole that can never be filled now. Thanks for being there for me when I needed a friend.

I worked with Larry on my team for almost 5 years. He was the most upbeat, positive person I've ever met. Even after he was diagnosed with cancer he still carried that positive attitude. It was truly and honor to work with him from day to day, and to be able to call him my friend.

I will miss your smile, and laughter, you were so full of life.

Larry was an absolute pleasure to work with. He always had something to laugh about, even on rough days, and loved to be very social. He was one of the brightest lights in our company and in the world, and will be missed. I sincerely hope that he is at peace, and I know he has many people who love him. See you on the other side good sir!
