Kelton Lee Larsen
Our loving husband and father, Kelton Lee Larsen passed away on Thursday April 18, 2013 at his home after suffering with a severe illness. Kelton was born on August 11, 1960, in Sacramento, California to Donald and Geniel Larsen. He was blessed with two brothers; Kyle (Joni), Brad (Irene), as well as three sisters; Camille (Brian), Dawnelle (Jeff) and Kelsey.
He met Lisa Gallacher at a church dance in Sacramento CA, while flipping his hair back and chewing his gum (his signature move), and they were later married in the LDS Oakland Temple on October 8, 1983. After a brief stay in California, Kelton, Lisa and the boys moved to Lehi, Utah where they spent 10 wonderful years. There they were blessed with two beautiful daughters. Following their stay in Lehi, they moved to Preston in the year 2002 and have called it home ever since. This October they would be celebrating their 30th anniversary. He was blessed to have four wonderful children, Brandt (Chantel), Kurt, Jessica, and Karlee who will miss him dearly.
Kelton had a strong testimony of the Savior which helped him throughout his life. He earned his eagle scout and served a mission in London, England/South Carolina where he was able to touch many lives. Kelton's love for this great country helped him to influence others of what true freedom meant and he strived to make it a better place. His passion to serve the Savior and love others, will live on through his kids, who he taught the ways of righteousness.
Everyone who knew Kelton, knew of his passion for the outdoors. Some favorite memories of him from family and friends were hunting and fishing trips and stories around the campfire. He was always the first to pull the trigger on a big muley. Kelton was a very successful business man he started a heating and air conditioning business from a very young age. Through his business, he was able to change the lives of a number of people along the way.
Kelton influenced the lives of many, and his influence will continue to be felt. He will be remembered for his energetic personality and his ability to make friends, as well as influence others' lives for good. His sense of humor and charisma was something to behold, as he made friends wherever he went.
We invite all who have felt the wonderful influence of this great man, to come celebrate his life with us on April 27, 2013, at the Franklin Idaho Stake Center, 106 E Main St. A viewing in remembrance of Kelton will be held at 9:30 a.m. followed by the funeral service at 11:30 a.m. Kelton will be laid to rest in the Mapleton Cemetery. We wish to thank everyone who was so kind to our father and to our family. We appreciate all of your support and we love you. Donations can be sent to the LDS Church Missionary Fund.
