Kirt Webb Larson

On August 2, 2026, Kirt Webb Larson passed peacefully surrounded by his devoted family at the age of 67. He had a long battle with myelodysplastic syndrome, endured the cancer treatments thanks to a generous bone marrow transplant donor, and started to enjoy his life again. However, his fishing trips were fewer than anticipated when his lungs failed him. We all share the profound sorrow of his passing.

Kirt was a beloved father, husband, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, medical provider, and hunting buddy. He married his loving wife, Sandra Brinkerhoff Larson, on July 16, 1982 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had six amazing children along with 14 cherished grandchildren. He loved each of them and FaceTimed them daily and ended every call, FaceTime, or visit with an “I love you.” His family knew he loved them fiercely and openly.

Kirt was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He valued his testimony and saw many miracles in his lifetime. He served as a missionary in the Italy Catania Mission and loved everything about it. He continued his love for Italy throughout his life and valued the enduring friendships with missionary companions. His service in the church was filled with miraculous experiences including the infamous hike through Grand Canyon with the boy scouts. He loved serving the young men as a scoutmaster, as a counselor in the bishopric, and in other callings serving the youth, which took him to the great outdoors that he loved. He was happiest in the outdoors- hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time around the campfire. He welcomed others to join him with “You are welcome at my fire anytime.” He also enjoyed his time serving as a Primary pianist and Primary teacher.

Kirt’s education included being a graduate of Kearns High School, where he reflected on stories about his cheerleading experiences- doing back handsprings, walking on his hands, and enjoying a fun atmosphere with friends. Throughout most of his life he worked as a painter for side jobs, both as a painting contractor and general contractor, and enjoyed the work. He had an art to painting and was a perfectionist in every project. With the help of family, he also worked hard at building our family home that he lived in for over 33 years. He continued his education at BYU in nursing and then again later at BYU graduating with his Master’s as a nurse practitioner. He worked in the emergency room at Pioneer Valley Hospital for 14 years. He also worked at Alta View Hospital and a short time at St. Mark’s Hospital, as well as other clinics. He opened his own family practice clinic, Step Mountain Medical, in 2000 as a nurse practitioner, which was a groundbreaking effort at the time. He loved his work, his coworkers, his patients, and made endearing friendships over the years. He combined his love for nature and work by having his office decorated with all things outdoors. When he was not working, he was in nature where he felt closest to God, “praying in a deer stand”. He loved his hunting buddies and their adventures and repeated the many stories with fondness. Besides being an incredibly avid outdoorsman, loving his time “at the ranch”, he also loved raising chickens, freeze drying, metal detecting, hosting his annual apple juicing party, and gardening. He could spend hours sitting in his garden. He also loved raising animals and had a variety throughout his life including dogs, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, a mule, and a donkey, among many others. He was an expert at winning stuffed animals from claw machines, and his family and friends received many “stuffies” from him. He loved to have his feet massaged and spent many hours on the couch with kids and grandkids sitting opposite, massaging each other’s feet.

We cherish our time with you and will love you forever!

Also survived by his siblings Byron (Marjean) Larson, Linda Hensley, Ron (Miken) Larson, Gary Larson, Donette (Jeff) Slade, Greg (Jennifer) Larson, along with aunts, uncles, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Kirt would often say to his family and those he served, “Do you know what I like about you? Absolutely everything”, which was consistently received with smiles. Many thanks are extended to the incredible staff at Loveland Clinic for their expert care, his generous bone marrow transplant donor for giving us more time with him, and to the LDS Hospital ICU team for their diligent, kind, loving attention to Kirt in striving to preserve his life.
