David L. Larson

David L. Larson, age 76, passed away May 25, 2021.
He was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on July 4, 1944 to the late John and Marie (Stockdale) Larson. David graduated from Underwood High School with the class of 1962 and retired from Pottawattamie County Secondary Roads.

He was an avid gardener and enjoyed sitting on his deck with a cup of coffee, watching the birds. He loved cutting and splitting wood to burn in his wood stove during the winter. When he wasn’t gardening or busy outdoors, he enjoyed baking and cooking for his family and friends. David’s favorite pastime was taking fall trips to North Eastern Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota with his “sweet lady” and other family members. He loved spending time with his grandkids and great grandkids, especially giving them rides on his lawn mower and attending their school events. Lastly, David has a big heart and an even bigger sense of humor; never missing an opportunity to drop a smart aleck comment which was sure to get a rise out of whoever was present. He will be dearly missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Karen Larson; son, Brian Larson; infant grandchildren, Joshua and Jade Larson; siblings, John Larson, William Larson, Janice Mullin and Roger Larson.

David is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Cheryl and John Spencer; daughter-in-law, Kim Larson ; brothers, Steven Larson and Jeffrey Larson; grandchildren, Jesse Spencer (Stephanie), Luke Larson, Alicia Haas (Ken), Breanne Wood (Jake); 5 great grandchildren; a host of other family and friends.

Visitation is at the Hoy-Kilnoski Funeral Home on Friday May 28, 2021 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Funeral service is at the funeral home on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Interment is in Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will direct memorials.
