Larry Adams Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Larry graduated from Dixie High School in 1953. He was married Marcia Rowe in the Salt Lake City Temple on August 24, 1956.
Larry's main and forever occupation was that of a farmer. Over his lifetime he acquired farmland in the Washington Fields. He found so much satisfaction in his crops and his cattle. He had several other entrepreneurial adventures along the way: He was a home builder, he built and owned the EZ shop (a convenience store in Washington City), he owned a garbage waste company, he ran a semi-trailer for a few years, and developed a subdivision with his sons.
Larry really liked to create things and make things happen. You could say that he worked up to the day he died, minus the 7 weeks that he was in bed right before he passed to the great beyond. Even during those weeks of being confined to his bed, he still wanted to know what was happening on the farm: was the road being repaired? Was the hay being cut? were just some of the questions he would ask.
Larry is survived by five children: Michelle Orton (Rod), Raul, Megan Spencer (Dan), Allison Benson (Mark), and Bryan (Heather); 27 grandchildren; 65 great grandchildren; and 2 great-great grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his son Jason, his grandson Jeremy Adams, his sisters, Reba (Ronald) Bracken, Bonnie (Glen) Milne and his brothers, Brant (Elva), and Blaine.
Interment was held in the Washington City Cemetery, Washington, Utah. The family will hold a celebration of life at a later date.

So many fond memories of Uncle Larry. Lots of boat trips to the reservoir. But, more importantly, he was a living angel to me. Two specific memories. He butterflied by head back together when I gashed it against a dresser in my room in Vegas when we were playing around in a large cardboard box and he just happened to be in town visiting (not sure of my age at the time). Also, I was in the 7th grade how he probably saved my life when he came into the house for a drink of water. I was sick and alone in the house and he noticed I had air bubbles all throughout my skin. Rice Krispy boy if you will. Turns out it was subcutaneous emphysema and ended up in the hospital for about a week. Who knows what might have happened had he not come when he did. And, on top of all that, he taught me a lot about hard work. Baling hay is no joke!
