Emmer Largent

Our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Emmer Theodore Largent, peacefully returned to his heavenly father on July 21, 2016 with his sweetheart by his side.

Ted was born on May 3, 1930 to Emmer and Jennie Largent in Salt Lake City, UT. He grew up in Delta, UT where he graduated from Delta High School.

He attended Weber State College and graduated with a Bachelors Degree.

There he instilled in his children the value of hard work.  Ted was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings in the Milton Ward. Ted was very proud of his service in the military and his American Heritage and he showed it by proudly flying the American Flag in his yard.  He enjoyed spending time with his wife and family, maintaining his yard and fishing when he had the opportunity.
