After a courageous battle with cancer, Larry Wayne Benoit of Okotoks, AB, passed away on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, at the age of 79 years. Larry was born in Winnipeg, MB, to the late James Lawrence and Margret Benoit. Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Shelbey Benoit; and their son Lanny (Lori-Anne) Benoit. He was the proud grandfather of three grandsons, John Aidan, Grayson, and Cade. Larry started his career in Ear Falls, Ontario, with the Ministry of Environment Clean Water Agency and later moved to Morden, Manitoba in 2002, where he continued to work in the industry until retiring in 2006. Larry relocated to Alberta shortly thereafter with his wife Shelbey to be closer to his family. In his early twenties, Larry proudly won the Canadian snowmobile racing championship, obtained his pilot's license, and pursued many other interests all of which fell short to his love of barbequing, as fondly enjoyed by family and friends.

Thank you to the nurses and doctors of Oilfield General Hospital for their care and support during this difficult time. Larry's family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Canadian Cancer Society at https://cancer.ca/en/ .
