Lawrence Belden

Age 74 Preceded in death by his mother Margaret Vote Belden, his father Cleo 'Red' Belden and Sister Terri Belden Wood. Living are his wife, Sue, his daughters Tiffany and Audra, his step-sons Brett Harris (wife-Michelle) and Jason Moose and brother-in-law Fred Price (wife-Patti) 5 grandchildren- Camille, Jeremiah & Abigail Pittman, Dylan Harris (wife-Jessi) and Ross Harris (wife-Katelyn) Larry lived in Otsego and Allegan all his life. He graduated through the 8th grade and started riding race horses at the tender age of 11; riding at "Bush" Tracks in Michigan and Ohio. Larry's love of horses came from his Dad "Red" who joined a traveling rodeo at the age of thirteen. Larry worked construction for Heckmans, hauled gravel for Pickett and Belden Sand & Gravel, was a welder and a farrier but spent the majority of his life in the saddle racing and training horses. Larry followed in his Dad's footsteps and has now passed his knowledge and love of horses onto the 3rd generation; his daughter Tiffany. Larry loved his life; he loved people, loved his family & farm and would do anything for anyone to help them out. His legacy will live on through his family and friends. A celebration of Larry's life will be July 27th from 11am 4pm at the Belden farm-2316 Lincoln Rd, Allegan, Mi. Bring a beverage, chair and we will hope to see you there.
