Feb 28, 2026

Larry Farrell, 63, passed away in Kingman, Ariz. A devoted father, brother, uncle, son and friend, his fiercely protective spirit and generous heart will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his daughter, Alisha Reed (Keith) of Anchorage, Alaska; grandchildren, Madelyn and Braedon; brothers, Terry Farrell and Christopher Farrell (Garland), both of Deer Island, Ore., and Bill Arnold (Marcia) of Lewiston, Idaho; and sisters, Kimberly Jacob (Peter) of Brisbane, Australia, and April Farrell of St. Helens, Ore. He also leaves many nieces, nephews and extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Maxine Farrell, Dan Farrell and Lisbon "Pops" Allen; nephew, Mason Farrell; and loyal dogs, Ulysses and Nala.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Larry moved with his family to New York in 1969, then to Kodiak, Alaska, and later Anchorage, where he spent most of his life. He attended Dimond High School and graduated from Job Corps in 1980 with a focus on carpentry. A skilled carpenter, he took great pride in his work, including building the family home filled with years of memories. He retired in 2022.

Larry loved bringing people together—hosting gatherings, grilling, playing Yahtzee, gardening and sharing food he grew himself. He especially cherished fishing, including trips to Seward, Alaska, with his daughter.

After retiring from NeighborWorks in 2024, he moved to Bullhead City, Ariz., where he cared for his mother and worked as an Uber driver.

Known as a champion of the underdog and a protector of those he loved, Larry—affectionately called "Larbear"—will be remembered for his loyalty, humor and big heart.
