Celebration of Life
Larry Ray Maxwell
Larry Maxwell, 84, of Kennewick, Washington, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025. He was born on August 26, 1941, and lived a life filled with compassion, hard work, creativity, and an unwavering faith in God.
Larry was the proud owner of a small print shop in downtown Pasco, where he served his community with honesty and dedication for many years. Beyond his business, he was a gifted woodworker, an avid gardener, and a man who found joy in the beauty of God’s creation. He loved backpacking and spending time in the mountains, especially around Mount Rainier, where he often found peace and spiritual renewal surrounded by nature’s majesty.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Artheta Maxwell; his brother, Joe Maxwell; and his children, Dawn Maxwell, Tanya Maxwell Robirts and husband Daryl Robirts, and Gerald Maxwell wife Dedra Flanagan Maxwell and son Joshua Maxwell. Larry was a beloved grandfather to Ariel Robirts Linn, Sydney Robirts Boswell, and Jarod Robirts; a great-grandfather to Trenton Robirts, Talon Wheeler, Gunner Boswell, Aurora Peterson, and Piper Lewis; and a great-great-grandfather to little Hazel Wheeler. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who cherished him deeply.
Larry’s compassion, gentle spirit, and steadfast belief in God touched everyone who knew him. His legacy of love, faith, and appreciation for the natural world will live on through the countless lives he inspired.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Events at Sunset, 915 Bypass Hwy, Richland, WA 99352. A BBQ will follow the service in the fellowship hall for celebrating and sharing memories together.
