Joe Cavender
Larry “Joe” Cavender of Northfield, Ill.-based Rose Pest Solutions passed away December 6, 2024, after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 55. He is survived his wife, JoAnn, and their two daughters, Brianna, 25, and Erin, 20.
Cavender spent more than 25 years in the pest control industry, the last four with Rose Pest Solutions. He quickly became branch manager, helping to lead the largest branch in the Rose network.
“Joe was an integral part of the Rose family and we will miss him terribly. He was a hard worker with a welcoming smile who became a trusted colleague to all who worked with him. There should be more people in the world like Joe Cavender,” said Bob Dold, third-generation Rose Pest Solutions owner and son of PMP Hall of Famers Bob and Judy Dold (Class of 2002).
Some of Cavender’s contributions included companywide termite training; holding educational public health seminars for Realtors, home inspectors and the hospitality industry; and participating in high school career days and Girl Scout Spark Days.
