Edward James Larson passed away peacefully at home in West Jordan, Utah on April 19, 2022 at the age of 83.

He was born on October 16, 1938, to Willard Don and Agnes Larson in Price, Utah. He later moved to Cleveland, Utah and attended North Emery High School. After graduation he honorably served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force including the Vietnam conflict. He then worked for Utah Power and Light for another 25 years.

He married Carolyn Iddins and had one son, later divorced. In 1979 he married Donna Dye Whiting and they were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple. He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He enjoyed building things, including his home in Cleveland, and was an electrician, plumber, and could fix anything. He also enjoyed camping, 4-wheeling, motorcycling, boating, and telling stories of his life and travels, especially of his time in the military (which he would do again).

He is survived by his wife Donna, son Philip, and stepsons Joe (Jen), Larry, Kent (Wendy), Travis (Colleen), 23 grandchildren, and 37 great grandchildren. He was received joyfully in death by his parents, brother Stanley, sisters Carol, Julie, Donna, Tanya, and Pamela, and granddaughter Brooklyn.
