Larry Eugene Darling, 67

Larry was given the gift of life, and now he has given it back. This is hard, but he was a lucky man, who led a lucky existence, and we are grateful we got to spend several years with this amazing man. Larry Eugene Darling, 67, of Silverton, Idaho, passed away February 1, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. He was born August 4th, 1949 in Wallace, Idaho. One of Larry's greatest accomplishments was serving in the U.S. Army and being a part of the Vietnam War. He fought proudly knowing he was fighting for American privileges, freedom and everyone's own beliefs. After returning from the U.S. Army Larry met and married Jo Mullins where they were brought together at the Methodist Church in Wallace, Idaho. Together Jo and Larry raised three beautiful daughters.

Larry had a passion for R.C Planes, helicopters and trucks. He loved building and flying all different types of aircrafts. He also enjoyed living in such a beautiful area and loved spending time in the great outdoors. He loved to hunt, fish, camp, go jeeping, waterskiing, snow skiing, and gold panning. Larry was also a certified scuba diver and a member of the Osburn VFW along with the CDA Jeeping Club. Larry was truly a family man and loved nothing more than spending time with all of his family, especially his grandchildren.

Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years Jo of Silverton, Idaho; three daughters Jeana (Tharrin) Frank of Silverton, Idaho, Janell (Angela) Darling of Spokane, Washington and Crystal (Mike) Goldade of Wallace, Idaho; his two sisters Pam Darling and Trina Yokkelson both of Oregon. Larry is also survived by his five grandchildren Shelby (Zakkary) Miller of Kingston, Idaho, Kelsey and Cora Frank both of Silverton, Idaho, Dylan of Spokane, Washington and Silver Goldade of Wallace, Idaho and by numerous nieces and nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his mother Gwendolyn, grandmother Edith Barten and his siblings Becky and Steve Darling.

A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at a later time at Lower Glidden Lake up Burke.
