Service Details
Larry Dean Saville, 77, passed away on Thursday, March 28, 2019. Larry was born on February 19, 1942 in Atlantic, Iowa to Henry and Hazel Saville.
Larry moved people and his presence was magnetic. He was a master at teasing and had a kind, playful spirit that made people smile and laugh. His love for friends and family was undeniable, often resulting in custom nicknames and good-natured joking. He possessed a depth of caring and compassion for others that left them feeling inspired, enriched and empowered. Teaching and the outdoors proved to be his purpose and passion; his devotion for his wife fulfilled his heart. His legacy will be left in the many lives he touched.
Those left to cherish his memory are his children, Lisa (Kevin) Baker, Dana (Jeff) Judge, Tami (Rick) Walsh, Todd Saville, and Kristina (Craig) Rogers: brothers, Ken (Karen) Saville and Lloyd (Paulette) Saville; sister, Shirley Rettig; 10 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and a host of family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife, Karen.
Visitation will be held 3-4 pm Thursday, April 4, 2019 with a memorial service at 4 pm at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines.

Larry was my x-brother in law. I have many fond memories of good times spent with Larry and always enjoyed his company. While I was growing up on our family farm we fished, camped, rode horses, worked together and had many good times. I appreciate knowing him and having him a part of my life.

Very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

I have great memories of spending time with uncle Larry growing up during our trips back to Iowa. Larry was always full of fun, jokes and horsing around the way Larry always did; I was glad I was able to see him and Todd earlier this year in Wichita. Later I remember he appreciated the simple things in life like when we would all run down to Casey's for Pizza or Donuts on the hunting or lake trips. Larry was always kind, comforting and supportive to my wife Tiffany when they had the chance to connect. The family will be in our Prayers.

We will all miss your sense of humor and lasting smile. Building 8 wall never forget the time you brought in someone for Verlyn on his birthday. My prayers are with your family.
