Ron sailed over the horizon to his Lord after a short, courageous battle with cancer. 

Born in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, he lived in the Seattle area most of his life, retiring from Global Diving and Salvage in 2016. His positive, helpful, friendly manner won him many friends and we will all miss him greatly.  Ron was a multi-talented man--mechanic, race car enthusiast, pilot, captain, boxer, square-dancer, and a fixer-of-anything broken. 

Beloved husband of Yvonne; loving father to Jesse, Austin and Heidi Larsen, and Halle Werner (Rich); silly grandfather to Madilin, Jackson, and Morgan Werner; dear brother to Jan Topalanchik (Mike) and Jeri Graham (John); fond uncle to many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews; and a warm-hearted brother-in-law. 

He was preceded in death by his father Robert Larsen, brother Rob Larsen, and mother Charlotte Strynadka. 

We love you Ron!
