Dean LeRoy Larsen (born May 24, 1927) has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 1976[1] and was the eighteenth Church Historian and Recorder from 1985 to 1997.[2]

Biographical background

Larsen was born in Hyrum, Utah. After briefly serving in the United States Navy at the end of the Second World War, Larson attended the University of Utah and Utah State University, graduating from Utah State with a degree in English and Spanish.

Larsen married Geneal Johnson and they became the parents of five children.

In 1962, Larsen was appointed the secretary of the Church Indian Committee. He taught for one year at the Institute of Religion at the University of Utah and then was asked to become the president of the Texas South Mission of the church. Upon completing this three-year assignment, Larsen taught at the Institute of Religion in Ogden, Utah. In the church he also served as a bishop and as a Regional Representative of the Twelve Apostles. In 1976, Larsen became the editor of all church magazines.

General authority

Later in 1976, he became a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, a position he retained until he became an emeritus general authority in 1997.[2] From 1980 to 1993, Larsen was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy.[1] He also served a term as Church Historian and Recorder, succeeding G. Homer Durham. After he was released in 1997,[2] the office of Church Historian remained vacant until Marlin K. Jensen was called in 2005.[3]

From 1998 to 2001, Larsen was the president of the church's Provo Utah Temple. He is occasionally mistaken for a different Dean L. Larsen who was president of the Lima Peru Temple from 2001 to 2004.[4]
