Larry McKendrick Obituary
Larry was born in Price, Utah, December 20, 1956, the son of John "Bud" and Elzar McKendrick. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army. In 1992 he married the love of his life, Fawn McKendrick.
Larry loved camping, hunting, shooting, and anything outdoors, but most of all, fishing. His grandsons were his greatest joy and he loved spending time with them, teaching them to fish and playing PlayStation for hours.
Larry was preceded in death by his wife, Fawn McKendrick, who he lovingly cared for through her battle with ALS. He was also preceded in death by his parents; brothers, John, Paul, Bobby, and David.
He is survived by his siblings, Patrick, Cathy, Dan, Cindy, and Elaine; step-children, Jared (Kristie) Rolfe, and Cami Yengich; and his grandsons, Jaiden, Gage, Brett, Boston, and Bennett.
Graveside services will be held on Friday, December 15, 2017, at 11:00 with a viewing beforehand from 9:00 – 10:45 at Valley View Funeral Home, 4335 West 4100 South, West Valley City, Utah.
Condolences to the family at www.valleyviewfuneral.com.

If you had the opportunity to know Larry you would have known he would give you the shirt off his back just to make you feel better. I only knew Larry for a short time but during that time he showed me his favorite places to fish, camp and gamble. Although I didn't know Fawn, I felt like I did as he spoke of her each time we got together, he also spoke about his grandkids with a special light in his eyes. Me and my family will miss you so much friend, you were an unforgettable man.

You can fish all you want to now. To his family my husband and I send our condolescence He was a great man. May God give you all peace at this time.

I remember playing with the 5 of us in Price. We used to push our baby sister in her stroller and you little kids would sometimes get in for rides. We also would spend hours finding wild baby rabbits and would try to raise them. We didn't have much but we always found fun things to do. We were very wild and happy. I last saw you in Spring Glen in 1960 - but you were always on my mind. I'm sorry we won't meet up this summer. I will always remember you as that little skinny kid who was my little brother. I love you.
