ISHPEMING, MI – Larry Snell, age 65, of Ishpeming, passed away at his home on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Larry was born on April 19, 1961, in Ishpeming, MI, to Harry and Myrtle (Beatty) Snell. He grew up in the Ishpeming area and graduated from Westwood High School class of 1979. A dedicated worker, Larry spent many years serving his community with the Ishpeming Township Public Works department in water maintenance until his well-deserved retirement in 2015. Larry thoroughly enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. He cherished walks with his loyal and beloved dog, Koda and could often be found playing or filling in for local cribbage leagues. He enjoyed the excitement of playing Keno and pull tabs, and he was an avid, lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers, rarely missing a chance to cheer on his favorite team. Larry leaves behind a family who will forever treasure his laughter, and the many beautiful moments they shared.
