In Loving Memory of Larry Broderick

It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Larry Broderick, a beloved husband, father, son, uncle, brother, and friend, who left us on New Year’s Eve. Larry was a devoted family man who deeply loved his wife, Sameth, and their three boys: Elljay, Preston, and Tyler. He was the kind of man who built his life around his family, ensuring that every moment was filled with love, laughter, and memories they could cherish forever.

Larry had a deep passion for nature and was a true bird aficionado. His ability to identify and name any bird he saw was remarkable, and he took great joy in sharing this knowledge with others. Through his guided bird walks and hawk talks, Larry inspired countless individuals to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world. His enthusiasm was infectious, turning casual observers into avid birdwatchers. For Larry, birdwatching wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way of connecting with nature and sharing its magic with others.

As a dedicated scout leader, Larry played an important role in shaping young lives. He was a mentor, a teacher, and a guide who encouraged growth, confidence, and a sense of adventure in every child he worked with. His impact reached far beyond his immediate circle, as his kindness and leadership left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

Larry was also a people person in every sense of the word. He had an extraordinary gift for connecting with others, whether they were old friends or complete strangers. He could strike up a conversation with anyone, whether standing in line at a theme park or chatting with neighbors in the community. His warmth, humor, and genuine interest in people made him the kind of person who brightened every room he entered.

Above all else, Larry was a man who adored his family. His love for his wife and boys was evident in everything he did, from the little everyday moments to the big, unforgettable ones. He worked hard to ensure they always felt supported, loved, and cherished. His legacy as a loving husband and father will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

We are seeking support to help cover the costs of his funeral, services, and a celebration of life befitting the amazing man he was. Any contributions, no matter the size, would mean the world to his family during this incredibly difficult time.
