Gary Larson

Born in Oakland, California, and most recently living in Merced, Gary was a curious and kind-hearted man who loved exploring different cultures and learning about the world. He enjoyed collecting baseball cards, football, golf, camping, doing his infamous 'Twist' dance, card games like solitaire and poker, music from the 1960s, The Office, Seinfeld, The Golden Girls, and, of course, Ancient Aliens. He loved good food, especially baked salmon and his homemade shrimp soup, and always dreamed of traveling to India.
Gary had a special and enduring bond with his ex-wife, soulmate, and lifetime friend, Griselda “Cris” Moore. Living together in Merced, they continued to share their lives, their faith in God, and a deep friendship and love that endured through the years. Cris was lovingly by Gary’s side when he took his final breath, holding his hand, surrounded by his children as he peacefully passed from this life.

Gary leaves behind his children, Sarah Elizabeth Button, James Luke Larson, Aaron Joseph Larson, Marisa Isabel Larson, and stepdaughter Anna Maria Lozano, and his grandchildren, Faith, Matthew Jr., Luke, Ronan, Liliana, Alyssa, and Parker.

Gary will be remembered for his curious mind, generous heart, love of family, and his ability to find joy in the simple things. His memory will live on in all those who knew and loved him.
