Logan, UT: Larry Merl Jardine, 83, passed away in the early morning of Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2011, following a 6 month valiant fight with Leukemia.
?Dad was born October 4, 1928, the fourth child of Leo Joshua and Blanche Hedelius Jardine in Clarkston, Utah. He married his childhood sweetheart, LeOra Thompson Jardine, on December 5, 1946, in the Idaho Falls Temple.

Dad started working with his father in the family’s gas station and garage in Clarkston at the young age of 3. He learned a trade in the garage and mechanical business and many other skills that he used throughout his life to provide for his family and help others in need. He could listen to a car run and tell you exactly what was wrong and knew how to fix it. He enjoyed building and woodworking in his shop and helped many family members and friends build new homes, Dad worked in the Auto Industry for several years, took 5 years off to work for Thiokol, then returned to work as the Service Manager for Axtell Chevrolet for 28 years. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in a Bishopric and other various church callings. His greatest love was spending time with his family. Together they enjoyed camping, fishing, boating, hunting, four wheeling and snowmobiling. He enjoyed supporting his children’s and grandchildren’s activities. His favorite pastimes were watching Bonanza, Gunsmoke, the Jazz and reading.

Dad and Mom were blessed with six children: Linda (Jim) Anderson, Judy (Jim) Jackson, Steven (Annie), Jerry (Shawna), Brad (Beckie) and Roger (RoxAnn) Jardine; 24 grand children and 27 great grand children.

Dad is survived by one sister, Aileen Larson, and one brother, Raleigh (Grace) Jardine. He was preceded in death by his wife LeOra, his parents, one sister, Burniece Hansen, and brother Blaine Jardine.
