Larry G. Parsons
September 06, 2013
Larry G. Parsons, 65, of Des Moines died September 6, 2013 at Mercy Hospital.
The funeral will be Tuesday, September 10, 2013, 12:00 p.m., at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home. Visitation will be held Monday, September 9 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow the funeral at Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
Larry enjoyed family, bowling, camping, family, picnics, watching sports, family, grandkid's sports, and by the way did I say family? Wife, sons, daughters, grandkids, brother, sisters, nieces, nephews, and friends who he considered his extended family.
Stranger was a word that Larry did not understand. If he saw someone that he thought he knew, he definitely did by the time they walked away.
Even though there was a lot of ups and downs in his life, Larry always remained rooted in his faith. He would talk about his faith to anyone that would listen.
Larry is survived by: Wife - Marilynn Parsons; Sons - Forrest (Robin) Parsons, Larry (Gloria) Parsons; Grandsons - Forrest (Rachelle) Parsons, Zachary Parsons; Great-Grandson - Brody Parsons; Siblings - Joanne (Alan) Fisher, Sammy (Phoebe) Parsons, Francis (Marsha) Parsons, Karen (Frank) Erickson, Earl (Liane) Parsons, Robert (Julie) Parsons; and many nieces, nephews and adopted family members that most people would call friends.
He was preceded in death by: Father - Gene Parsons, Mother - Adalene Parsons, and Grandson - Brandon Parsons.

My deepest sympathy to all of your family at this sad time. Larry was a classmate of mine from Urbandale. We lived fairly close to one another. He was always quiet, reserved and marched to his own drum. I am happy to see he found so much love as his life moved on. My thoughts are with you on this difficult day.

Larry and I were classmates at UHS, class of '67. He seemed on the quiet side then and I didn't really know him very well. Not very long ago, he sent me a friend request on Facebook, and through his FB posts and comments, I finally learned who Larry was. It was so obvious what a wonderful family man he was, and I was also impressed with his spiritual convictions, which was something we had in common. I really admired how strongly he held to his convictions and spoke up in defense of his faith. He obviously made a very strong, positive, loving impact on everyone who knew him, and I am saddened today to hear of his passing. But his deep, committed faith brings an element of peace, knowing that he is with our Heavenly Father, and will be watching over all those he loved so much! What a wonderful legacy he has left for his family and friends!

I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was always such a great grandpa to Forrest and Zachary. I remember he attended all of the boys' games and meets. He was a very kind man who will be missed.
