Obituaries Larry Kwasney
Larry Lee Kwasney Jr., 49, of Fort Peck, died Sept. 7, 2020.
He was born July 15, 1971, in Wolf Point to Larry Kwasney Sr. and Liz (Fullerton) Kwasney. He was raised, attended school and graduated from Circle High School in Circle. Many adventures were had with him and his three siblings running around and through Circle. The stories of their childhood are still told to the younger generations to this day, usually when everyone is sitting out on the deck at the cabin.
After graduation, he joined the Navy in the summer of ’89. During his four years of service, he served in Desert Storm. He was honorably discharged in 1993. After being discharged, he got married and to that union he had four children: Justin Wood, Erica Brown, Dalton Kwasney and Dillon Kwasney. He also had two grandchildren and was expecting one more in December. For the last eight years, he was married to Angela Murphree Kwasney. They resided in Fort Peck at the time of his death.
The most important thing he instilled into his children was the love for hunting, fishing, a good work ethic and where hard work can take you. Some of their best memories are with a fishing pole in their hands and a rifle on their shoulders.
He was an amazing electrician and that took him and his family on many journeys starting in Clyde Park, Glendive, Ketchikan, Alaska, and West Yellowstone. He could help you wire up your entire house completely over the phone — he truly was phenomenal at his job.
One of the highlights of his life was his moose hunt to Alaska. He still talked about it to this day. He took home a 64-inch Alaskan Yukon moose. He also got to spend many days out on the ocean in Ketchikan catching hundreds of halibut, salmon, shrimp and crab.
He did many things and he did many things well, but one of the biggest things he did was become a dad. He loved being a dad, which in turn made him love becoming a papa. His parents bought a cabin at Fort Peck many years ago that have held many family gatherings. He probably spent more than half of his life at that cabin on the lake.
His big dimples, with his equally big smile, always followed by his genuine laugh will be among the many things missed most about him. Not to mention all of his jokes, hunting stories, fishing stories (sometimes over exaggerated ones) and any other story he decided to share.
He is survived by his wife, Angela Kwasney; parents, Larry Sr. and Liz Kwasney; siblings, Emmie Kleppelid, Joleen Kutzler and Chris Kwasney; his children; and his grandchildren.
A memorial service was held Friday, Sept. 11, in Glasgow at the VFW. Graveside services were held at Riverview Cemetery in Circle on Saturday, Sept. 12.
