Larry Field Obituary
Larry Dean Field, was born on June 27, 1933 in Mankato, Minnesota to Andrew Thomas Field and Gail Clarabelle Field (Paulson). Larry went home to the Lord on August 17, 2024 while at his home in Hayden, Idaho surrounded by family and close friends.
At 9 years old Larry's family moved to Sacramento, California. At 17 he joined the Navy, serving as a fireman on the battleship Iowa in the Korean Conflict. After completing his Navy service, Larry received a degree in Business Psychology at Sacramento State. He enlisted in the Marine Corps, became a fighter pilot reaching the rank of Colonel. While continuing as a reservist in the Marine Corps, he flew for United Airlines for 29 years.
Larry married Kay Fariss Carmichael in 1959. They had three daughters, Neva, Monica, and Eden. Larry and Kay moved to North Idaho in 1992 where Kay lost her battle with cancer, going home to the Lord in 1994.
In 2003 Larry married Janice Kay Meyer (just celebrating their 21st anniversary). Larry is survived by his wife, Jan; daughters: Neva Keyes (husband, William), Eden Bonnett (husband, Rick), and son-in-law, Dan Lewis (married to daughter, Monica who went home to the Lord in 2021); grandchildren: Morgan Garihan, Will Keyes, Hailey Lewis, Brianna Danovsky (Lewis); and three great grandchildren.
Larry enjoyed playing basketball, hunting, golf, road trips and chartering boat trips. He was a volunteer fireman in Worley, Idaho and held a blackbelt in martial arts. However, these were always second to his love for the Lord, his adoring wife, Jan, family, and close friends.
Larry had an amazing gift of making everyone comfortable; always focused on others, never himself. He continually and humbly served those around him. He will be missed but he leaves something to be cherished in so many lives.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00PM on Friday, August 23, 2024 at Yates Funeral Home – Hayden Chapel, 373 E. Hayden Ave., Hayden, Idaho. A graveside with military honors will follow the funeral service at Riverview Cemetery, 1065 Lincoln Way, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83814, then a reception to follow back at Yates Funeral Home – Hayden Chapel. Please visit Larry's online memorial and sign his guestbook at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com.

On weekends when I was stationed on Treasure Island in the Navy, I would take a bus to Sacramento, call my Aunt Beverly to pick me up and stay with my Grandpa & Grandma Field. On Sunday Uncle Larry would pick me up and drive me back to Treasure Island on his way to the airport. Because he showed his Marine Reserve Officer ID to get in, I always loved to watch the Marine guard snap to attention and salute him. He will be missed.
