Larry Millard passed away peacefully at his home in Pocatello, Idaho, on June 1, 2026. He was 77 years old.
Born in Rupert, Idaho, Larry was the ninth of 11 children born to David Saunders Millard and Anna Harriett Hansen. He grew up on the family farm in the View–Burley area where he developed a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Throughout his adult life he lived in both Idaho and Washington state. Larry was the proud father of daughters, Holly and Mistie and sons Sage and Nathan.
Larry had a natural green thumb and took great pride in his garden, especially his roses and hollyhocks. He enjoyed fishing, leatherworking, and the simple pleasure of a good cup of coffee. Friends and family often joked that coffee flowed through his veins. Larry was a fixture at Bob’s Café where he enjoyed conversation and community.
Larry is preceded in death by his parents David and Anna, and his siblings Edwin, Richard, Bonita, Druzela and Joyce. He is survived by his children Mistie (Del), Holly, Nathan and Sage; seven grandchildren; and his siblings Dallas, Ellis, Stanley, Royce and Marvin; as well as extended family and friends who will remember him in their own meaningful ways.
