Larry Dean Fast Obituary (1940

Larry Fast passed away at Cottage at the Meadow after a brief illness. He was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. Larry was born on November 8, 1940 to Dean and Elizabeth Fast, in Twin Falls, Idaho. As a young man Larry was an avid baseball player and later on he became an umpire. He was often requested by the Umpire Association to officiate the state tournaments. He was an educator and taught for over 35 years, even after retiring he continued to substitute. Larry had many interests; one was his love of the Central Washington State fair. He enjoyed all the festivities of the fair, such as walking around with loved ones, sampling the various food vendors, and watching the demolition derby. Another favorite was spending time at the casino, either locally or in Laughlin, Nevada. He loved the warm weather and easy access to the casinos and often dreamed of moving there. He loved college basketball but the teams that captured his heart were the Gonzaga Bulldogs, as well as the Seattle Seahawks and the Mariners. Another favorite pastime was dancing. He loved going to the American Legion to dance the evening away with his love Norma. They spent many evenings there dancing and enjoying the company of many friends. Larry's legacy is their beautiful landscaped yard. He spent many hours on his knees perfecting every blade of grass in the yard. He was extremely proud of the compliments. Nary a pinecone or leaf could be found. He was a good friend, a great listener and a man of faith. Larry was also a founding leader in the formation of the Faith Center. He served as a Deacon for many years serving the Lord. Larry survived by three daughters and a son; Diane Berry (Tacoma), Doreen Baker (Spanaway), and Denise Fast (Richland) and Tyson Fast (Yakima). He also had 14 grandchildren, as well as his loving friend and companion Norma Braconnier and her family who loved him dearly. He will be reunited with his parents and a grandchild, Jacob Berry. He will be deeply missed by all those who loved him.
