It is with great sadness that the family of Larry Reed Peard announces his passing on Friday, December 29, 2023, at the age of 63. Larry was taken by a heart attack much too soon but was surrounded by family. Larry was born in Grass Valley, CA in 1960. Larry and his twin brother, Gary Peard (1960) were the first set of twins born at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. He was the oldest of four children born to Alfred and Marilyn Peard. Larry loved Penn Valley and stayed in the area his whole life. He loved being outdoors and worked as a heavy equipment operator most of his life for Robinson Enterprises, Inc. When Larry wasn’t working, he loved riding his Harley. In addition to his love of riding motorcycles, Larry loved animals, specifically horses and dogs, playing pool, darts and bowling.

Larry will always be remembered for his soul. Whenever anyone just needed a friend, Larry was the one to call. He easily made new friends everywhere he went because he lived in the moment. He loved his family and his friends and will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know him.

Larry is survived by his daughter, Lacy Vierria (Vincent) and their four children: Macy Hamer, Grace Vierria, Henry Vierria and Grady Vierria, his two sons Chase Murphy-Peard and Josh Myers-Peard (Mandi) and Josh’s daughter Sierra Myers. Sister, Laura Olsen (Rich) and Danielle Ettlin (Jim) and her three sons: Joshua Ettlin (Kaytie), Jesse Ettlin (Marinda) and Jonathan Ettlin (Kellie), nephew, Tony Peard (Evan) and many great-nieces and nephews.

He is joining his Father, Mother, and brothers, Gary and Jayme, in heaven where they have welcomed him with open arms.

There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 11AM at 11665 Spenceville Rd, Penn Valley, CA 95946.
