It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Larry Mann (born August 11, 1953), with family by his side, passed away April 2nd after an unexpected stroke. The family would like to acknowledge the expert care they and Larry received from Drs. Lakonathan, Smith, and Key, Brent and Teresa, and the ICU nurses. Larry will be lovingly remembered by his life partner and soul mate of 35 years, Shelley and their son Jason (Jarrah). Also left to mourn are his brother Brian (Evelyn) and children Tobi (Daryl) and Thomas (and son Easton); Phillip (Shari) and children Micaela (Jon) and Jamieson; Darlene; Uncle Sinc, Aunt Helen, Aunt Marilyn and Tom and their families; sister by love Dianne and her mom Lila as well as many friends and extended family. Caring thoughts extended to his lifetime friends the Allgrove, Reier, Wlasitz, Tereschuk, Goodman, Dalton, Goheen, Hampson, and Holat families.
Larry was a heavy duty mechanic and worked around the Prince George area for 35 years. The family thanks his fellow dancers in the Northern Twisters and Vanderhoof Drifting Squares, his colleagues at LEJ International, and the Buckhorn community for providing friendship and love. Larry loved people and his quick wit will be missed by all. Larry was deeply committed to his family and devoted to Shelley, Jason, and his parents during their lives. He had a deep sense of a higher power that he never lost sight of even during challenging times. If you met Larry, you immediately saw the twinkle in his eye and knew he was someone special. He was vibrant and full of life. He will be missed.
