Dennis Theron Larson January 31, 1950 – June 12, 2025

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). He met Debbie Willie in 2008 and married her on June 10, 2016. Together they shared 17 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—through family, friendship, or business. He was known for handing out nicknames, making people laugh, and always lending a hand when needed. His work ethic was unmatched. 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—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, Cassie, and Tyler (Lindsey); and stepchildren: Jeremy (Kristy), Jen (Joe), Todd (Judy), Rochelle, Julie, Jennifer, Janet, Jessica (TJ), and Jolene. He leaves behind 25 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews he loved dearly. He is also survived by his siblings Tammy (Larry), Sheri (Gary), 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.
