Larry August Kickbusch

Larry August Kickbusch "headed for the barn and greener pastures' to be with Our Lord and Savior on May 18, 2010 at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, La.

Larry was born Oct. 11, 1949 in Havre, to Roy and Lucille Kickbusch. He spent his childhood years in Coram and completed schooling through his second year of college.

He later married Jeanne Amos and they had a daughter, Augusta, in 1975.

Larry was employed by Anaconda Aluminum Company, Burlington Northern and Plum Creek.

Throughout his years, Larry enjoyed his pack trips at Spotted Bear with Russ Baeth, logging, fishing, hunting, camping and stock car racing. He was a lot like his father, Roy, when it came to tinkering with "fixable" stuff. He was always in touch with his family and friends.

Larry is survived by Augusta of Coram, Jeanne of Coram, Judy and Jeff Halsey of Whitefish, Doug Kickbusch of Great Falls, Pauline Kickbusch and Leland of Columbia Falls, Phillip and Tammy Kickbusch and family of Coram, Nathan and Shaylyn Dorlarque of Salt Lake City, Sheila and Colby Miller and family of Columbia Falls, Shelley Wick and Brad Kuzmic of Coram, Brittney and Eric Holden of Kalispell, Irene and Steve Garvin and family of Bigfork, Kela Bergren, Willard Kickbusch and family, Martin and Greg Kardell and family, all of Havre, Wilma Berg, Chuck Tadewalt, both of Great Falls, Jean Kato and family of California. His friends Karen Tolar, Vernon Tolbert, Noah Peppers, Skip and Marie Hanson, Steve and Dee Brown, Russ Walters, Dave Nedved, Ed Mundell and numerous others.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father, sister Jola, and numerous other relatives and furry friends.

There will be a celebration of Larry's life and a potluck at Hungry Horse Reservoir at a future date.

Larry will be remembered for being very generous and never asked for anything in return. He had a silly sense of humor and a ruff and gruff look, but had a heart of gold. Happy Trails!
