Larry Dunseth

Lawrence W. “Larry” Dunseth III, was born on February 17, 1956, in Dixon, IL, and died on Sunday, August 28, 2022, at Swedish American Hospital, Rockford, IL, after a courageous battle with congestive heart failure. Larry worked for many years in the concrete construction industry. He would often drive by a house or business in the Dekalb and Ogle County areas pointing out to his kids and grandkids which houses he worked on with much pride. Larry and Erma moved from Genoa where he grew up and they met after many years to Davis Junction in 2004. Pointing out to her that he helped pour the floors in the Fire Station there “back when he was a younger man” of course he added. He retired from Structural Dynamics in Sycamore after finally accepting that his body could no longer work in the industry that he loved so much. He was an organ and tissue donor. Those beautiful blue eyes will give someone the Gift of Sight someday. His family is comforted in knowing that.  Predeceased by his parents, LWD Jr. (Sam) and Betty Dunseth, brothers Mike and Gerry Dunseth.  Larry is survived by the love of his life of 34 years, Erma Young, Davis Junction, children Stephanie (Allen) Matlock, Cortland, IL, Jaime (Jerry) Lawton, Fairdale, IL, Tony (Holly) Young, Dixon, IL, and Kevin Young, Genoa, IL. Grandchildren, Alexis Sribniak, Washington, Justin, Amber, and Taylor Young, Jasmine, Hernandez, and Octavio Matute, as well as three great-granddaughters and a great-grandson on the way, all of IL. Sisters, Linda Dunseth, TN, and Judy (Dave) Sinderman, Sterling, IL. An extended family of in-law’s, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and his loyal and much-loved companion - his dog, Sam. He leaves us with a legacy of hard work, and pride in the accomplishments of his family. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.  Cremated remains will be interred at the Genoa Cemetery at a later date.
