Larry George Kambouris passed away on January 29th, 2024, in his home in Aurora, Colorado. Born to George and Evelyn Kambouris on April 27th, 1964, in Flagstaff, Arizona. Larry was a cherished son, brother, and friend. He grew up Read Obituary
When Larry was in elementary school I remember his uniqueness, and his promise. He was so inquisitive, aware beyond his years, and innately wise. Even then his interaction with family members was one of interest, innocent pranks, and overall gaiety. Larry was simply fun to be around and interact with. He was a natural at being the center of attention in the family unit in a very positive and entertaining way.
He showed me as late as 2019 that he still valued family, sentiment, and loyalty to those he genuinely cared for. He made a point to attend his favorite Aunt, and my Mother's funeral to express his sincere loss, as well as my own that day. It was indeed appreciated.
As much as we think we can be prepared for such a loss...we can't. Blessings to his wife, his siblings, and his friends during this painful transition, of not having Larry's wit, humor, and family loyalty around anymore.
Larry provided us a valuable life lesson with his way too early loss from us. Let us all hope whoever came in contact with him will finally learn from it. Whether you are his friends or his family..know that life is short...and there is nothing more precious...make a point to start imitating Larry's childhood gaiety...daily...with those you interact with.
While the childhood memories are plentiful... My unfulfilled memories of today and tomorrow will be terribly missed.
Love you cousin!

Larry was my older brother and a restless soul. No matter what situation we found ourselves in, Larry would take the lead and do whatever the situation warranted to come out on top. Growing up in the Colorado mountains, we enjoyed camping, dirt bike riding and four-wheeling.
It seems unfair to try and describe Larry with just a few words, though I believe I can try with just one: memorable.
The question I keep asking myself is, how would Larry like to be remembered? Loyal? Sure, he was, fiercely loyal. Intelligent? He wouldn't agree with me on that one, but definitely, he really underestimated his own intelligence, it was plain to see. Hilarious? Yes, hilarious and offensive in equal measure (with that dry wit humor). Nothing was off limits, and nothing couldn't be made fun of. Larry was fun, exciting, and tons of trouble. Larry was an avid war historian, particularly World War II. He loved Harley Davidson's and tromping around Flagstaff and Sedona when he lived in Arizona.
Remembering Larry isn't a difficult thing to do because of the lasting impression he left on most. Memories can and will last forever. As long as they do, he isn't really gone. He is still with each of us due to the unique way he positively affected our lives, and the plentiful idiosyncrasies for which we will remember him.
I would like for everyone who knew him, to remember him as a blessing and a lesson
Rest in peace brother. I will miss you.
To my Dear Uncle Larry,
I was saddened to hear of your passing from my mom your sister Sharon. We had lots of good laughs and Crys together. Your saying "IT IS WAS IT IS" will always stick with me. You will be missed by many. I love you and will miss you. Be at peace now.
