He was predeceased by his grandparents Linda and Russ Nordin, Kohkum Maxine Morine, Wallace Hancox, brothers Levi Larson and nephew Kyler Larson.

Grandparents Don (Diane) Larson and Myra Hancox.

Tarrant worked with his Dad building cabins and then worked at Jackpine Fishing Lodge in Northern Saskatchewan. When he moved back to Manitoba, he started roofing. He loved being outdoors so enjoyed going to work. Tarrant lived a simple life and never needed much to be happy.
Tarrant’s passion for music resonated through his soul. He loved swimming and fishing and found peace being near water.
The world was Tarrant’s playground and he cherished every moment spent with family and friends.
His laughter and silliness was the soundtrack to his countless adventures.
Tarrant’s generosity was to be admired. He would help anyone, especially his friends and would give his last dollar to help a stranger in need.
He loved all animals and tried rescuing everything. He had a unique sense of fashion. From skinny purple jeans, bucket hats and velvet “fits”, he always had his own style. No matter what life threw at him, he always had a smile. Tarrant faced many challenges but you’d never know he was struggling. Always had a sense of humor and managed to have some fun everyday.
His friends called him Jungle Book because he was a real life Mowgli.
Tarrants’s legacy is one of laughter, courage and an unwavering commitment to living life to it’s fullest even through hard times. It didn’t matter how bad his day was, if it ended with a poutine and some bacon then all was right in his world. He loved cooking and making sure there was enough to feed everyone.
Tarrant a wide array of friends and family throughout his years and he held each very close.
In the spirit of jungle’s own approach to life: “life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all”
Service of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at 1:00 pm at St. Peter Lutheran Church, (Hwy #7) Teulon, Manitoba.

My memories of Tarrant are more at the beginning of his life, when he was a little terror always getting into everything causing mommy lots of stress. I was fortunate to have him as my little ring bearer in my wedding party back in 2000, all dressed up in a little tux, barely even 2 years old. My heart breaks for all who knew and loved him, especially you Leah. Hugs and love to you as you struggle through this sad and difficult time. Love Sherry and Jason Genick and family xoxoxo
