BRAD LARSON

Brad Larson passed away suddenly at home on Monday, May 15 from an apparent heart attack. He was born in Belvidere, IL to William and Mary Larson. He graduated from Belvidere High School with the Class of 1974. Brad worked for a few years at Knox Trucking on the dock, before joining Anderson Roofing Company. When he was 21, he invested in land in

Tucson, AZ which he sold in 2007. He then retired at age 48 just like he had planned.

Brad married the love of his life, Brenda Larson, on September 6, 1990 after they had lived together for 11 years. He raised his stepson Travis from the age of 2-1/2 years. They kept busy supporting all Travis’ sporting events as he went through school, & Brad was so proud of all his accomplishments. As Travis became an adult, Brad always said he was so proud of the man he became. Travis blessed him with 2 grandchildren which he was very involved with, & loved them dearly.

Brenda & Brad had many friends & they enjoyed life canoeing, camping, attending rock concerts, & hosting many house parties for their friends. Later in life he loved spending time at Travis’ house, riding his side-by-side in the woods along the Kishwaukee River & sitting on his beach listening to music with Brenda, Travis & anyone from the neighborhood who would join him. He loved a good belly laugh & got that frequently with Brenda & his many friends. Anyone who knew him enjoyed his loud, opinionated personality. Brad loved to travel. He purchased a timeshare in Cancun, Mexico and he & Brenda spent 2 weeks there each year for 23 years making the best memories. Brad loved his Chicago Bears & Cubs, and recently became an IndyCar race fan.

He was very much loved and will be missed by those who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Brenda; stepson, Travis Akers; grandchildren, Chase & Kaylee Akers; sister, Diane Bunnell (Don Rydzewski); brothers, Roger (Kathy) Larson, Curt (Cris) Larson; and several nieces & nephews. Predeceased by his parents; & grandparents.

Brad’s memorial service will be July 1st at 12 pm to 12:15 pm at the VFW Post 1461, 1310 W. Lincoln Ave., Belvidere, IL. Celebration of life to continue until 3 pm. Memorials to the family please, to be determined at a later date.
