Larry Karrer, beloved son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend passed away in Bellevue Washington, on July 9, 2023 at the age of 58.

Larry was born on April 20, 1965 in Seattle and raised in Bellevue, Washington. Following moves with his family to Southern and Northern California and the East Coast for several years, Larry returned to Washington after completing his B.S degree at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He enjoyed a career in sales and retail management at Nordstrom and worked most recently with Target Co.

As an avid sports fan, Larry loved playing golf and organizing golf tournaments, and was a lifelong LA Dodger fan. Football season was his favorite time of year, where he enjoyed following the local Washington college and professional teams as well as many others. He was an avid collector of sports memorabilia and would challenge anyone to sports trivia contests. Next to sports was his love of animals. Larry had several pet cats throughout his life and considered them members of the family. The Seattle Humane Society was near to Larry's heart as he supported their mission of providing care and loving homes for all pets.

Larry is survived by his parents Robert Lawrence Karrer and Eleanor DeTurk Karrer, his daughter Alexandra Karrer Willett (Dean), his sister Kathryn Karrer Benvenuto (Steve) and nieces Kristina Benvenuto Bartz (Danny) and Jennifer Benvenuto along with many close cousins.

A celebration to commemorate Larry's life will be held at 2pm on Saturday, September 30th at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church located at 4228 Factoria Blvd SE, Bellevue, WA 98006. A reception will be held at the church immediately following the service.
