Larry was born Sep-
tember 14, 1955 in Cando,
ND to Wayne and Darlene
(Boldt) Gebur. He attend-ed two years of school at
Jim Hill High School in
Minot, ND before moving
to Surrey, ND where he
graduated high school.
As a teenager, Larry
worked at the races and
Dakota Surplus. On Au-
gust 2, 1980, Larry mar-
ried Deb Hendershot in
Minot, ND. They spent
their lives together and
raised two beautiful chil-
dren, Ron and Camille.
Tragedy struck their fami-
ly when their son Ron W.
Gebur was killed in action
in the Iraq War on May
13, 2006. Their love for
each other and their fami-
ly, and a strong faith kept
them together throughout
the years. Larry had a
long courageous battle
with cancer, but he
remained diligent with a
positive outlook and had
14 great years while in
remission.
Larry worked as a sales-
man at Iseman Mobile
Home in Minot, ND and
Border States Electric
where he made many
good friends. After the
business in Minot, ND
closed, he worked for the
company in Bismarck, ND
for a short time. He also
worked at the Coal Creek
Power Plant for a time.
Larry then decided to pur-
sue a career in law en-
forcement, starting at the
Ward County Jail. At the
jail he was the Correction-al Supervisor for 4 years.
From there, he began a
long career with the
Federal Bureau of Prisons
as a correctional coun-
selor. Larry worked most-
ly in Pekin, Ill, where in
2005 was the Correctional
Employee of the year. He
also received many
awards over the years
from the ATF, FBI, CIA,
US Marshall’s Office and
many other law enforce-
ment agencies. Larry
touched so many people’s
lives. He was a huge as-
sest in his work as a
Correctional Counselor in
the rehabilitation of the
inmate population at FCI
Sheridan, Oregon and FCI
in Pekin, Illinois. At his
retirement party, the
streets were literally lined
with fellow coworkers
and friends.
Larry truly enjoyed re-
modeling projects on his
home, especially while
working with several fam-
ily members. He was so
appreciative of their help
and talents.
Larry is survived by his
wife, Deb, Garrison, ND;
daughter, Camille Gebur;
daughter-in-law, Bethany
Gebur; grandson, Gage
Evan Gebur, father,
Wayne Gebur; brother,
Ron R. Gebur, Deering,
ND; sisters, Vicky (Terry)
Miller, Kathy (Joe) Piper;
several nieces and
nephews, and a special
friend, Blaine Kotasek.
He was preceded in
death by his son, Ron W.
Gebur, mother, Darlene,

Gebur, and a special
friend, Doug Schieve.
