| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Friday, May 29, 2015 <<< Larry Van Bynen, 81 was called home to be with the Lord, May 25, 2015 while being compassionately cared for by the Joan and Diana Hospice Home. He was surrounded by his wife of 59 years, Joann Van Bynen and his son, Todd and his wife Lisa. Larry was a devout Christian who loved to help those in need. If you met Larry once, you would walk away feeling as though you had just made a friend. Larry’s life was a true example that through Christ, all things are possible. One of seven children, Larry was born in Michigan and moved several times before calling Arizona his home in 1958. He was proud to call himself an Arizonian. As a land surveyor he brought his family to Lake Havasu City in 1969 where he spent many years helping pioneer the early development of the town. He had several careers including small business owner and plant engineer for Havasu hospital. Noteworthy, he was also a key factor in the creation of the Desert Hills Fire Department, (one of the early chiefs). Larry retired to his small ranch outside of Wikieup in 1994. He continued to serve the Lord by being active in his local church where he could share his passion for God, family and country. Donations may be made in his name to Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, KRMC Joan and Diana Hospice Home. A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at 18218 Cholla Canyon Ranch Road, Wikieup, AZ 85360. A graveside service will be at 11 a.m., Monday at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens, 1698 Deer Run Drive, Lake Havasu City AZ 86404. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory. Thoughts and condolences may be sent to the family at www.lietz- frazefuneralhome.com. See Also: Find A Grave |
