Our beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his three loving daughters on February 19th, 2016 at the age of 59. Brent Edward Larson, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was born September 8th, 1956 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Albert Edward Larson Jr. and Bertha Pauline Turner Larson.

During much of this time he owned Brent Larson Painting Company and Larson Brothers Painting Company, which he co-owned with his brother Craig. Dad loved the outdoors and enjoyed spending his free time fishing, hunting, golfing, ATV riding, and camping with his family. He had a kind heart and quick wit and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
