Larry Gebert Passed Away, Obituary, Wife, Children

KTVB meteorologist Larry Gebert died Friday evening after a 45-year broadcasting career across the West, according to the news station. He was 65 years old at the time. Gebert died peacefully after complications from a heart attack, according to KTVB. He was “surrounded by his loving family” and “passed away peacefully.”

Gebert began his career in 1977 while attending Carroll College in Montana, and he joined Idaho’s NewsChannel 7 in 1992. He worked as a sports reporter and news director in Montana until 1983 when he relocated to Boise.

Gebert is survived by Julie, his wife, three sons, and two daughters-in-law. According to KTVB, he adored his family and would have “water ski(ed) across the Atlantic Ocean if any of them needed anything.”

Details about Gebert’s memorial service will be released in the coming days, but cards can be sent to KTVB in the meantime. Anyone interested in donating to Gebert’s memory can do so through the 7Cares Idaho Shares fund.
