Diamond Valley, Utah
- Larry Warren Hanson, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, age 60, passed away January 3, 2018 at Dixie Regional Medical Center following a massive stroke complicated by many health problems.
Larry was born in Murray on September 17, 1957 to Harold Warren "Pete" and Alma Jean Marlin Hanson. They moved to Riverton in 1969 where he lived until he married Gaylene Backer on January 20, 1979 in American Fork. Larry graduated from Bingham High School in 1976 where he was in the National Honors Society. He also participated in wrestling, Adagio Dance Club, Industrial Arts Club, and the Vocational Industrial Club of America.
Larry was a general contractor for many years founding his own construction company, HRC Construction. He also worked as a Building Inspector for Washington County and St. George City and as a Zoning Administrator for Sevier County. He loved building homes, especially for and with his family. They built homes in South Jordan, Draper, Hurricane, Bloomington, Monroe, and finally Diamond Valley. This last dream home will be finished by his wife, son, grandsons, son-in-law, and brothers. When he wasn't working he enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, and being outdoors. He will be deeply missed by many who relied on him for his wisdom and knowledge.
