Larry 'Todd' Flatt, 34

Larry "Todd" Flatt, 34, passed away July 19, 2005, in Kalispell.

Todd was born April 13, 1971, in Dallas, Texas.

Todd moved to Montana six years ago and loved working, living and playing here. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan, but his heart belonged to Montana, which he considered "Heaven" on Earth.

Todd's best friend and companion was his dog "Dudley," who brought him much comfort, joy and unconditional love.

He had worked for NAPA Auto Supply in Kalispell at the time of his death. Todd loved his family, adored his mother and was dearly loved by all of us. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Todd was preceded in death by his grandparents, Velma Sinclair and Johnny Flatt, and his uncle, Johnny Paul Flatt.

He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Janet and Kenneth Lane of Argyle, Texas; his father and stepmother, Larry and Debbie Flatt of Lancaster, Texas; his aunt, Kathy "Any" and husband, Rusty, of Laguna Park, Texas; grandfather, James "Byruff" Sinclair of Laguna Park; grandmother, Faye Flatt of Lancaster; stepbrother, Bruce Lane, of Florida; and other aunts, cousins and beloved friends.

In honor of Todd's love for animals and nature, donations may be made to the Humane Society of Northwest Montana. P.O. Box 221, Kalispell, MT 59903.

Buffalo Hill Funeral Home is caring for the family.
