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,

sister-in-law, Donna

Gebur, and a special

friend, Doug Schieve.

The family prefers

memorials to CHI Home
