Larry Warner
Glenwood, Utah

    It is with great sadness and love that the family of Dr. William Lawrence Warner announces his passing on August 15, 2023 at his home in Glenwood, at the age of 77, after a brave battle with brain cancer. 
     Larry was born to Beth and Bill Warner on March 14, 1946 in Moab. He spent his early years in Richfield and Salt Lake City, and then moved to Portland, OR, where he graduated from Wilson High School. He served a mission in the Netherlands for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  
    He married Marcia De Dibble in 1970 in the Mesa Arizona Temple, and over the next several years, they lived in Portland, OR, and Phoenix, AZ, as he attended medical school and completed his residency. In 1978, they settled in McMinnville, OR, where he established his OB-GYN practice and they raised five children – Bill, Michelle, DeAnn, Steven, and Becky. In 1997, they moved to Salem, UT, where he continued to practice medicine. He delivered over 7,500 babies during his career. He retired in 2017, and they moved to Glenwood, where he loved fishing, four-wheeling, and hosting family and friends. He was a proud father and grandpa, and he built close relationships with each of his children, 22 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. 
    Larry lived a life of great faith and Christlike love. He was full of kindness and was devoted to serving others.
