Daniel Clifford Larson, 67, of Rochester, passed away unexpectedly at home on November 16, 2020, with the love of his life by his side. Born in Rochester, MN, on August 2, 1953, he graduated from Kasson Mantorville High School and went on to earn his two year degree after attending Mankato State and Rochester Community College. He met Debra Jean Erickson in eighth grade and they were married on July 15, 1972. He worked for UPS for 35 years, retiring in 2008. Lars, as he was commonly referred to, was a man of few words but always had the right ones when needed. A definite homebody, he was happiest at home watching shows, in front of the fireplace, with his wife. Throughout his life, he enjoyed golfing, hunting and spending time at the cabin with family and friends. Family was his number one priority. He loved watching his grandchildren play all their many sports.

He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Deb; children, Andy(Brenda) Larson and Jill (Brian) Landin; grandchildren, Masey, Charleigh and Kane Larson, Henry and Miles Landin; granddogs, Zoey, Winnie and Daisy; brothers, Don (Nancy) Larson and Richard (Connie) Larson. Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Juanita.
