Ivan Delwood LaComb, of Warren, passed away on January 7, 2019 at the age of 91. Devoted husband of Jane for 49 years; loving father of Tom LaComb (Michelle), William Reed Jr., Sharon Reno, Robert Reed (Andrea), and Patricia (James) Pollock; proud grandfather of Amy, Matthew, the late Christopher, Michael, Kariann, Rob Jr., Jennifer, Cheri, Jill, and James IV; adoring great-grandfather of Hayley, Rylee, Landon, Alexis, Jacob, Jessica, JD, Luke, Jack, Joe, Jessica, Anjellica, Cody, Joshua, Jenna, Olivera, and Vaughn; brother of the late Donald (the late Iva May) LaComb and the late Leeman (the late Rita) LaComb.

He was born in Detroit on April 4, 1927. Ivan retired from Crusader Engines after 30 years of loyal service. One of his proudest moments was working side by side with his son Tom.....launching Tom's career at Crusader. Ivan was a quiet man, reserved and humble, who followed his own path. He was protective and caring, especially of his dear wife, Jane, whom he adored. They spent much time together, taking casino trips and visiting family in Northern Michigan when they could.
Ivan had a soft spot in his heart for classic country music and old western movies, his cars (which he was known to detail with a toothbrush), and especially for his great-grandchildren.

Memorial Service will take place at 11:00am on Friday, January 11, 2019 at the above location. Inurnment at Cadillac Memorial Gardens East Cemetery at a later date.
