Bio
Larry Gydesen died on Oct. 16, 2018 in Sandy, UT at the age of 79. He was born on Feb. 19, 1939 in Scotia, NE. Larry married Betty Muehling on Nov. 14, 1958. A memorial service was held on Oct. 23, 2018 at Memorial Mountain View Mortuary (3115 East 7800 South, Cottonwood Heights, UT). Larry was born and raised on a farm in Scotia, NE. After marrying “the love of his life,” they moved to Denver, CO. There, they started their family and his career in the Corrugated Industry. Later, they moved to Salt Lake City. He started Deseret Container with his family. Together they built a successful business including a location in Phoenix, AZ. After much consideration, he decided it was time to retire from Corrugated. He was much too active to stay in the “retirement” mode. He started volunteer work and later became known as “Larry the Food Man”. For 14 years, seven days a week, he would take food to multiple shelters, missions, and families in need. Recently, Larry and Betty moved to Mesquite, NV to enjoy their condo and the beautiful weather, but with a decline in Larry’s health they returned to Salt Lake City. Larry passed peacefully at home and will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and the many lives he has touched. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Betty; daughters, Marti (Dan) Newman, Teresa Sorensen, and Wendy (John) Erdmann; grandchildren, Sharmaine (Talon), Brittany (Ryan), Savanna (Tyson), Ashley, Tanner, Kelsey (Jordan), and Zach; and 10 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his son, Steve and three great-grandsons.
