Larry Carl Young was born on April 6, 1967 in Maquoketa, Iowa, to Edwin Donald and Virginia Lorraine (Hoerschelman) Young.  He was a 1985 graduate of Maquoketa Community High School and a graduate of Northeast Iowa Technical Institute in Peosta with a degree in Construction.  He married Betty Jean Cutlip on July 31, 1999, at East Iron Hill Community Church, rural Maquoketa.  Their children are Dakota Young and Samantha Byrd.  They have one granddaughter, Ember.

Larry was the owner of Larry Young Construction.  With his parents, he farmed and was co-owner of Young Septic Service.

Larry was well-known in the community and was greeted with a smile, a wave and a friendly “Hey Larry!” everywhere he went.  He did everything for his family and would do anything for anybody who asked.  His last act of giving was being an organ and tissue donor.  His absence will be profoundly felt.

Those left to honor his memory include his wife, Betty Young of Maquoketa, IA; children, Dakota Young of Maquoketa, IA, and Samantha Byrd of Clinton, IA; grandchild, Ember; parents, Edwin and Virginia Young of Maquoketa, IA; sister and brother-in-law, Kathy and Norbert Gonnsen of Maquoketa, IA; aunt Cheryl Heinrich; mother-in-law, Madeline Cutlip; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Christina and Rick Ernst, Doris and Larry DeLay, Tammy and Charlie Clay, Ray Cutlip, and Curtis and Darlene Cutlip; nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; and cousins.  He was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents.

In lieu of other expressions of sympathy, memorials may be directed to the University of Iowa Dance Marathon.
