Dennis Theron Larson, age 75, passed away peacefully at home on June 12, 2025 in Mesquite, Nevada, with his beloved wife Debbie by his side.

Dennis was born on January 31, 1950, in Ogden, Utah, to Theron Henry Larson and Beverle Reed Chapelle (Larson). On June 10, 2016, he married Debbie Willie, and together they shared seventeen wonderful years. One of Dennis’s greatest joys was fulfilling his dream of moving to Mesquite, where he spent his final years. 

A true outdoorsman at heart, Dennis loved golfing, fishing, and hunting—but nothing brought him more happiness than time spent with his grandchildren. His grandkids were the light of his life, and he lit up whenever they were near. Their bond was unmistakable, and they greeted him with bright smiles and open arms every time he entered the room.

Dennis had a unique ability to connect with people—whether through family, friendships, or his professional life. He was known for handing out nicknames, making people laugh, and always lending a hand when needed. His work ethic was second to none. As the proud owner of Brandon Company in Salt Lake City, he built a career rooted in relationships and service. Even during a past battle with cancer, Dennis never missed a beat—he showed up daily, sometimes sleeping on the office floor just to make sure the job got done. He truly loved his customers, many of whom became lifelong friends.

Dennis is survived by his children: Kirk Larson, Cassie, and Tyler (Lindsey) Larson; and stepchildren: Jeremy (Kristy) Pearson, Jen (Joe) Rodriguez, Todd (Judy) Errett, Rochelle Errett, Julie Schwartz, Jennifer Schwartz, Janet Herbert, Jessica Derrick, and Joleen Derrick. He leaves behind 25 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Tammy, Sheri, and Hal. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Theron and Beverle, his brother Randy, his sister Debbie, and wife Deon, who passed in 2007.

Dennis will be remembered for his strength, kindness, wit, and the unwavering love he had for his family and friends. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, loyalty, and love that will live on in all who knew him.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 21st, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Activity Barn in Wheeler Historic Farm. Located at 6351 South 900 East, Murray, Utah for his many friends and those unable to attend the services in Idaho.

A viewing will be held on Monday, June 23rd at 10:00-11:00 a.m. at Horsley Funeral Home, 182 W 300 North, Malad, ID.  Funeral services will follow.
