Spencer Ryan Larsen

Spencer graduated from Taylorsville High School with a love for skateboarding, music, animals, and every part of nature. He was a walking breath of fresh air who brought optimism, positivity, and strength to every human he crossed paths with. His purity, unshakable hope, empathy, and spirituality were part of what made him the world’s superhuman. His spirituality wasn’t something he just spoke about; it was something he lived through his compassion, his patience, and the grace he freely offered to everyone who knew him.

Spencer is survived by his loving siblings, Ashley Saldivar, Jaelynne Larsen, Andrew Larsen, along with half-siblings Crystal, Michelle, Alicia; grandparents, Shirley and Jerry Larsen; and many, cousins, aunts and uncles.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Laura Jean Larsen; great-grandparents; uncles; and cousins.

Spencer was a pure, deep-minded fighter who inspired people in every room he stepped into. He was eternal, and though he’s not here with us, the hope he gave so effortlessly will carry his spirit forward. He had a way of reminding people, even strangers, that there was always something worth fighting for. He was more than a light in this world; he was a reminder of what it means to truly love and to believe in someone when they needed it most. He will be deeply missed and forever carried in the hearts of everyone he touched.

Live like Spencer.
