Birth date: Apr 12, 1949 Death date: Apr 20, 2023
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Larry Lebert Price, of Lakewood Washington, on April 20th at the age of 74. Larry passed away at home in the arms of his loving wife, Susie Price, from a very rare form of Lou Ge Read Obituary
This is love. This was true love. Soulmates. Love of each others lives… Larry and Marla. Your souls are finally together now. I’d add more but these are what are easily accessible from my phone. Larry was the love of Marla’s life. Marla was the love of Larry’s. They are finally together again. Forever.
I’m extremely sad to find out about my grandpa’s passing how I did but I know it has less to do with me and more to do with how he chose to spend his final 5 years of life. He was married to my grandma, Marla for 30+ years, being the primary grandpa in my life from the moment of my birth. From teaching me how to waltz in his living room, to rescuing me and gramma when we couldn’t get the TV volume to turn down. He would play pretend food with me, read books to me, and tuck me in when I slept over. When his life parter, my gramma, died, he stepped into her shoes and held my firstborn child close to his heart knowing his loving wife never would as she died of cancer a mere week before my baby’s birth. When he met Susie, something changed. He stopped responding to messages, he gave his wife’s ashes away to my mom (thankfully) and slowly stopped talking to us all despite us (at least in my case) continuing to reach out. I’m only just now finding out about his death, despite being the grandchild he spent the most time with. But I know that has more to do with his wife and some family members no longer considering us family once my gramma died. I wish things hadn’t gone the way it did. He was like a father to me in so many ways. I remember telling him that when I was younger and seeing the tears well in his eyes. I just hope Gramma and him are together in the afterlife and he’s spending the rest of eternity with his one true love 🥰
He’s survived by 3 step children, Aaron, Dawn and Eric, 6 grandchildren, Mandee, Kaylee, Jude, Chance, Dylan, and Brady, and 3 great-grandchildren, Anna, Damon and Ellie. All of whom possess more memories than a lifetime can explain.
I’m sad that I had to add that part myself and was left out by whomever wrote this obituary, removing 30+ years of his lifetime legacy out of what I can only assume is jealousy.
Rest in peace grandpa, hope you and Gramma are living it up at Heaven’s Casino.
Larry was preceded in death by the love of his life, his soulmate, Marla Price, who passed in 2017. He is survived by his three step children - Eric, Dawn and Aaron, his 6 grandchildren Mandee, Kaylee, Jude, Chance, Dylan and Brady; his five great grandchildren Andromeda, Damon, Maverick, Ellaiva and Quincy. He is now reunited in the afterlife with the true love of his life. The happiest he has ever been was in the almost 30 years he spent with Marla. After losing Marla, Larry was broken-hearted and devastated. He remarried barely knowing Susie and quickly she had him walk away from his family of 30 years. He may have smiled, but he was lost without Marla. The happiest he has ever been was in all the years he spent with Marla and her three children that he thought of as his own, and his grandchildren. Larry is now resting in peace with the love of his life, Marla.
Larry was married to my mom, Marla Price for almost 30 years until she died. He was step dad to myself and my two brothers. He was grandpa - not step grandpa to 6 grandkids. He walked away from all of us out of the blue when he met Susie. He disregarded his family and threw us all away. Me and my brothers could live with it, but the grandkids didn’t understand. So they lost another grandparent that day. I had so much love, admiration and respect for that man until he did this. We were very close until he met Susie. Some people can just walk away and replace family. I didn’t know how I’d feel when this day came and I learned of his passing. I’m actually sad, but we grieved him long ago when he walked out without a care. I do fear for his soul when he meets my mom, his afterlife won’t be pretty with how he treated everyone. I’d say rest in peace Larry, but I doubt for you that’s possible. But I will say rest in peace to the man I thought I knew, to the man who pretended to love us for 30 years, that guys soul I care about.
Larry was my grandfather through his previous marriage to my grandmother Marla Price, and though our relationship was distant after her passing, I will always have love for him. He was always so funny, charming, and caring. He always made our family trips to Washington so fun and memorable, and meant so much to me during my childhood. I hope he's found peace wherever he's gone.
Larry had the most genuine and charming smile of all. He was a great man and a great husband. Larry will always stay in our memory as a kind and generous man who treated everyone with kindness and respect. We will miss you Larry and you will always live in our hearts. Thank you for being such a great and loving husband to my friend Susie.

I had the fortune of having Larry as a neighbor. He was very friendly and cared about the community. He and his wife Susie did a lot of embellishment in our grounds. It was a pleasure to visit with him when he was walking in the neighborhood. Always smiling. He will be missed.

Larry was my husbands brother. Our memories are precious and will be with us always. He and my husband were especially close and loved each other so much. We were so delighted when he met and married his wife, Susie. She was the love of his life. When she came into his life, we have never seen him happier!
We hope he is looking down on all of us with joy and is free of pain now.
We love you Larry may you rest in peace now.
