SEXSMITH, Larry W.: With broken hearts the family of Larry W. Sexsmith advise of his passing on August 13, 2015, suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 65. Larry was born in Vegreville, AB. June 22, 1950 and grew up (or so he claimed) in Australia and Calgary. A well respected business man in Kelowna for 35 years, Larry made his mark in the Insulation and Restaurant industries. Larry's vision was the driving force behind the success of Rose's and he was instrumental in elevating it to the iconic landmark it is today. Larry is survived by his sons Paul (Isaac), Adam (Fiona, Jacob, Ella, Elijah), Mike (Austin, Josh); sisters Pat (Marv), Linda (Bill; Ryan, Kira, Tyler, Chloe; Erin, Donovan, Stephen), Barb (Brianne, Kevin, Ruby, Christian) and Sandy; and friend Tammy Clarke (Cassie, Skylar, Peyton and Alex). Larry had many great friends and a large "extended family". He was a man of his word; loyal and always ready to lend a helping hand, as he did for so many of us, many times. Larry lived life on his terms. He was "larger than life"! Larry Wayne will be greatly missed. Remember forever....forget you never. In lieu of flowers Larry would have loved donations be made in his honour to the Daniel Olesen Memorial Fund set up in memory of his nephew via the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation; www.childrenshospital.ab.ca.
