He was born in San Diego California to Florence and Rulon Larsen in 1945. He was raised in Las Vegas and had a childhood full of scouts, baseball, basketball, music and hunting. He graduated from Las Vegas High School in 1963 where he distinguished himself academically and was elected Student Body President. He was voted Most Preferred man by his senior class and was involved in numerous clubs and organizations. Jon was given a Senate appointment to the Air Force Academy which he declined in favor of attending Brigham Young University on a full leadership scholarship. After his first year of college he served a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the New England States Mission. Upon his return to BYU, he joined the BYU International Folk Dancers and had the opportunity to tour and perform all over Western Europe for two summers. In 1970, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and enlisted in the Marine Corps. He served his country in various locations crisscrossing the country and traveled around the world. He loved the Corps and it became an integral part of him. That same year he married Dee Ann, his beautiful wife of more than 52 years. From that time forward his family was of the utmost priority to him.

Jon is survived by his wife, daughters and 8 grandchildren.
