Laurence “Larry” Stephen Garman, 62, of Clancy, MT passed away from natural causes on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. There will be a Celebration of Life on Sunday, September 26, 2021 at 2:00pm in Clancy at Chubby’s Bar & Grill, 9 Clancy Creek Rd. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Larry was born on November 8, 1958, in Denver, CO to parents Larry Wayne Garman and Rita Katherine Allen Tomlin. The family later moved to Montana where he would spend the remainder of his life. He graduated from high school in Sidney, MT and then enlisted in the United States Navy where he became a proud member of the Seabees.
After leaving the Navy, Larry became a Lineman, working for the phone company through Mountain Bell, US West, Qwest, and Century Link for a total of 40 years. In 1985 Larry and his first wife Teresa welcomed their daughter Britney into the world; they then moved to Helena in 1989 where they welcomed their son Kelby.
As a man who loved being outdoors, Larry enjoyed free time spent hunting, fishing, being in mountains and getting into trouble. Larry also found enjoyment in woodworking, playing horseshoes and darts, which he played on leagues for several years. On October 2, 2005, he married the love of his life and soul mate, Jan (Dupler) Bauer. With this marriage he gained another daughter Amanda.
As a lineman, Larry worked for the IBEW Union, later becoming president which he maintained for over 20 years. He spent several years as a volunteer fireman with the Clancy Fire Department. But above everything, Larry loved being a Poppa and spending time with his family.
Larry was preceded in passing by his mother, Rita Garman; and grandparents, Leona Garman and Jack Garman. He is survived by wife, Jan Garman of Clancy, MT; children, Britney (Andrew) Varhley of WA, Kelby (Janell) Garman of MT, Amanda Stewart of MT; grandchildren, McKenzie & Everett Garman, Lynn Varhley, Jillian & Addison Stewart; parents, Larry and Kathy Garman of Sidney, MT; and siblings, Kathy (Jim) Hill of MT, Richard (Lori) Garman of ND, Missy (Eric) Zipperian of WY and John Garman of MT.
