It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Larry Dean Faris, D.D.S. He left this world on June 28, 2024. Dr. Faris was born February 27, 1937 to his loving parents Leo and Myrtle Faris. Dr. Faris was preceded in death by his parents, sister Patti Delaney, and brother Loren Faris.
Larry’s life was filled with love, laughter, and passion for his family and interests. He is survived by his devoted wife, Janice Corrigan Faris, whom he married in 1965; daughter Valerie Faris and cherished grandson Lucas Faris; his supportive sister-in-law Cheryl Faris and brothers-in-law Joseph Delaney and Gene Corrigan; as well as much-loved nieces, nephews and a multitude of friends.
Throughout his life, Larry excelled in his professional career working with his loyal team: Deanna Blumenstein, Lisa Young, Buffy Jackson, and Kari Hammargren. Beyond his professional life, Larry enjoyed attending his grandson’s sports; outings with his fishing buddies; and trips to dental conferences with his “office family”.
Larry’s kind-hearted nature, compassionate soul and sense of humor endeared him to all who knew him. Larry’s absence leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him but his memory will forever be cherished. May he rest knowing he was loved and will be deeply missed.
The family suggest donations be made to one’s favorite charity or to Doctors Without Borders. Family and friends may visit Dr. Larry Faris’ memorial website at www.forevermissed.com/larry-dean-faris

I have 58 years of fond memories of Larry. One that stands out is when Loren and I visited him at the University of Washington when he was in dental school sitting at his desk in his one-room apt. Studying. Those were his humble days.
we loved when him and Janice would come to our lake house for dinners. Larry had a few gin and tonics.
Rest in peace Larry. We love you. Hope there’s some good fly fishing there. Love Cheryl and family

Larry was a brother-in law, a good friend, fly fishing buddy. I knew Larry for a long time, I think since ‘68, so it’s been awhile & I enjoyed every get together. Larry was good guy & will be missed & long remembered. Larry was a great brother in-law, & was very close to Patti & the family over the years as was Loren. When I met Patti, I hadn’t met any of the family & didn’t know that both Patti’s brothers, Loren & Larry, liked fly fishing. Over the years we all did a lot of fishing along with his brother Loren & good friend Donnie Frogner. I know Larry would have liked to have gotten in several more fishing trips if he could have, & I remember even in the last few years when Larry wasn’t getting around well that when we would get together to visit & tell some fishing stories that Larry would often be ready to go fishing the next morning, he loved it. Larry like his brother Loren I don’t think he ever really got to like cell phones or texting or computers, at least to my knowledge. I don’t think he was ever known to text, I know I never received one. Larry was a lot of things but one was a cowboy, he had some cowboy in him. Larry told me he was good with a gun & could handle a rope. Larry liked a good rodeo & we went to a number of them. Larry told me he used to ride in a few rodeos, & Larry said either saddle bronc or bare back was his preference. Larry did like a Toyota pickups, Gonzaga basketball, UW football, & usually country music. Larry also liked homemade pies, especially cherry pie. Anyway Larry will be greatly missed but Larry left us with a lot of great memories to be cherished & remembered.

I am very sad to hear of Larry’s passing. I have known the doctor for almost 40 years and I swear, he was probably the kindest man I have ever met. If all people had Larry’s attributes the world would certainly be a much better place.

My Uncle Larry

September 12
We didn't live close by, so sadly growing up I didn't really know him like my other cousins. Visits in recent years revealed his soft spoken sense of humor, his dedication and love for his family and especially for grandson Lucas. It brought Larry great joy in going to baseball practice with Lucas and I know they made great memories at the lake cabin.  He was proud of Valerie accomplishing her house projects single-handedly! He and Janice built a beautiful life together and I know that he will be missed tremendously by all who knew him.
My love and condolences to Janice, Valerie, Lucas and the rest of the family   

Uncle Larry - dentist, fisherman, and humorist

September 7
Uncle Larry was a great man. As my sister mentioned, he generously gave of his time to help with our family's dental needs. Many good memories of Uncle Larry, but what I remember him most for was his sense of humor. He was the drollest person it was ever my pleasure to know. He will be missed by family, coworkers, and friends.

I am the proud niece of Larry. I’m Leslie odell and I remember my uncle Larry as being very humorous

August 31
As being very humorous, yet quiet. Now those are two words you 
usually don’t see together. It was so thoughtful of him to do all of the Odell
kids teeth free on a Saturday or Sunday (I’m sure his only two days off)
 He always made sure I was comfortable and he was very gentle. 
He will be truly missed.    Leslie Odell
