Larry Linhardt Obituary
July 27, 1949 - March 18, 2022
Sedona , Arizona - Larry R Linhardt, 72, of Sedona, AZ formerly of Kansas City Missouri passed away peacefully on March 18,2022 with his wife, Deborah at his side.
Larry was born in Kansas City, Mo to Roy A and Olivia K Linhardt. He graduated from Southwest High School. His many friends knew him as "Looney " for his fun and crazy personality. Larry loved art and had a unique eye to see things differently from most. Over the years he had many art shows and First Friday events in KC. After his stroke he continued his artwork even with his disability.
Larry loved to travel and he and Deborah were blessed to travel the world. Often times bringing home inspiration for his artwork.
Larry loved the Chiefs and Royals, cheering them on from Sedona and was glad that he was able to witness their World Series and Super Bowl wins.
Larry is survived by Deborah, his wife of 50 years; brother Ken Linhardt; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Teresa and Charles Bockting; nieces Amy and Sarah Bockting; great nephew Hunter Bockting; mother-in-law Jo Pritchard and many extended family and friends.
He will be missed more than words can express. He is probably already planning an art show in heaven.
Look around you and see art in everything!
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

As his nephew, I wasn't close with him, but hearing of his passing felt like someone had carved out part of my memory and thrown it away. Not much was said. Now, I wish I'd said more to him, gotten to know him more. Perhaps, in the next life, I'll catch up with him. May he rest in peace.

I want to thank everyone that has posted memories on the Southwest High School web page for Larry's class. He was (and still is) my dearly loved brother. We usually reserve "I love you" for girl friends and wives; but, my only regret is that I did not say those words to him more often. His spirit is free.
