Larry Hugh Prevost
Obituary
Larry Hugh Prevost passed away on December 26, 2025 at Stanford Hospital. He was born in Ashland, Oregon on October 13, 1955 to Mary Wilfred Pettit Prevost and Ralph Lee Prevost. Larry grew up in Scotts Valley, California, and as an adult moved back to his birth state of Oregon. He was always happiest on a mountain trail and on the beautiful rivers of the Pacific Northwest. He later moved back to Santa Cruz County to be closer to family.
Larry is survived by his sisters, Cathy Prevost and Robin Lazier, his aunts, uncles and cousins in Mississippi and his nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. He was a devoted son, brother and uncle.
He will be missed and remembered as a nature lover and an adventure seeker. In the words of the Rolling Stones: "I'll be following the river, till it joins hands with the sea; I'll be thinking about you 'cause you always saw the best in me."
A celebration of life will be held at Highlands County Park 8500 Highway 9, Ben Lomond, on February 21, 2026 from 12pm-3pm.
Charitable donations may be made in Larry's name to the Alzheimer's Association or the National Parks Conservation Association. Larry was an active supporter of these organizations, as well as many others.
