On February 9, 2012, Larry B. Brown, 67, was finally freed from the physical and mental pain of the MS he has fought for almost 30 years. He was born September 2, 1944 in Orem, Utah to William B. and Grace C. Mann Brown. He was their only child. He was raised in Provo and upon graduation from Provo High School he joined the Air Force. He served during the Vietnam War in Guam and Thailand as a photo interpreter. He served for 7 years.
He joined the Utah Highway Patrol in 1970, and was stationed at the Port of Entry in Kanab. While being stationed in Kanab, he met Valeen Hulet, and they married November 19, 1970, their daughter Vanessa was born in 1971. He was transferred to the road in Piute County in1972 and moved to Circleville. Their son Christopher was born in 1976. Larry served the citizens of the State of Utah for 10 more years. In 1979 he received the Golden Beehive Award for the most stolen car arrests in the state. All those who met him as a trooper knew him to be fair. He was well respected by all.
With his marriage to Valeen, Larry, being an only child, was blessed to gain seven brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as many nieces and nephews. His greatest joy was his children and grandchildren. He was so excited with the prospect of meeting his new granddaughter coming in March. He was so proud of his family's accomplishments.
He and Valeen were sealed in the St George Temple in 1983. He had a powerful testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and developed a passion for genealogy work that he loved to share. Because of his MS, his computer became his lifeline to the outside world, he spent many hours working on it. He was the Circleville Town news reporter for the Richfield Reaper for many years. He loved to tell stories and enjoyed anyone who stopped by to visit.
Surviving are his wife, Valeen of Circleville; daughter, Vanessa (Troy) Sawyer of Ephraim; son, Christopher (Catherine) Brown of Bel Air, MD; grandchildren: Adam, Amanda, Todd, Eric Sawyer and baby girl Brown due in March. Also surviving are: father-in-law, Carlyle S.

He was preceded in death by his parents; mother-in-law, Norma L. Hulet; and sister-in-law, Debbi Williams.
Heartfelt thanks to Lon Dalton and family, Lon rose so far above the calling of home teacher and friend he feels like family. Thanks to all of the home health workers for the past 9 years: Marnie, Doreen, Marlene, Kat and many, many others. Thanks to Dr. Brown whose kindness and care will never be forgotten. To the many friends and neighbors who were always willing to help at a moments notice, we are so grateful, mere words are not enough.
