Larry Mark Shott

July 5, 1952 — October 28, 2014

Larry Mark Shott, 62, Roscoe, passed away Tuesday, October 28, 2014, in OSF St. Anthony Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. He was born July 5, 1952, in Rockford, the son of Cyrus and Marie (Heller) Shott. Larry grew up in Machesney Park and graduated from Harlem High School in 1970. In first grade, Larry met Kathy Bergstadt, the girl he would marry on April 2, 1977. They were blessed with a happy marriage for 37 years and especially loved their annual anniversary trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Larry became a devoted and loving dad when his son, Chase, was born on Larry’s 39th birthday. Larry worked construction for several years, then began a long career in car parts working at Auto Werks, Bob’s Antique Auto, and as he entered retirement, working part time at IWI. We will miss the love and presence of Larry in our lives, even knowing that we will see him again. The family would like to thank Drs. Iancu, Korkmaz, Bryan, Alexander, and Kamal, and the nurses and staff at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center and the nurses and staff at Van Matre Rehab Center for the wonderful care that Larry received over the past three months.
Survived by his loving wife, Kathy (Kass to her Dental Dimensions family); his son, Chase (girlfriend, Brittney Johnson); his sisters, Debbie (Gary) Walters, Diane (Mark) Randol, both of Broken Arrow, OK; his sisters-in-law, Carol (Steve) Peterson of Michigan and Judy (Lonnie Baker) Bergstadt of Rockford; his nieces, Haven (Val) Walters, Holly (Justin) Hernandez, Melissa Randol and Staci Randol, his nephews, Rick (Julie) Stevens and Jim (Jen) Stevens; his cousin, Pam (Mike) Neville; and several great nieces and great nephews. Larry will also be missed by his life-long friends, Ron and Harley Messinger and Brad Green. Predeceased by his parents, Cy and Marie Shott, his grandparents, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Don and Bernie Bergstadt.
