Lawrence “Larry” Young Sr, passed on May 2nd due to natural causes at his home in Fairfax with his wife Barb of 34 years by his side. Larry was born in Colchester to the late Benjamin and Theresa (Sloan) Young on April 13th, 1942. Larry was a lifelong and proud resident of Fairfax where he graduated from Bellows Free Academy in 1960.

Larry’s entire career was focused on the construction trades with the majority of it owning and growing LW Young Excavating. His business was a trusted resource to farmers, businesses, residents, municipalities, and the State. He loved his work and found great joy with operating heavy equipment and trucks. He was very skilled at his work and his customers and employees knew they were dealing with an honest and hardworking man.
Larry’s time away from work was spent camping where he enjoyed traveling with Barb to camporee events or finding a quiet site in Schroon Lake, NY. Since the 1960’s, Larry had passion for snowmobiling where he was an early member of the Fairfax Trailblazers Club establishing trails and bridges in Fairfax and Fletcher. He continued that passion throughout his life and rode thousands of miles in northern Quebec with his close friends and family.

Larry enjoyed and loved spending time with his family and friends. His family of 9 children, 8 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren gave him abundant opportunities to witness sporting events, family gatherings, and spending time together.
