Jason “Jase” Peter Larson, 67, Fargo, ND died in Vibra Hospital on June 20, 2024 from complications of a fall in December 2023. Born on August 30, 1956, in Ada, MN, he was the eldest son of Graydon and Ann (Gordon) Larson.
Jase spent his formative years growing up on a farm south of Ada where he learned the values of hard work and honest living. He carried these lessons throughout his life. As a youth in addition to helping on the farm, he was active in basketball, 4-H, and FFA. Jase attended Ada Public Schools, graduating in 1974. He completed his Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from Moorhead State University in 1986.
Jase was married to Debra Steen from 1984-1990 and from this union their son, Peter Andrew, was born. In 2004 he met his current wife, Barbara (nee Lammi) at the Fargo Blues Fest.
Jase was a smart, hardworking, loyal man with many talents. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing. Throughout his adult life he had the ability to reinvent himself as the need arose whether it be as a self-employed painter, landscaper, truck driver, or warehouse manager. He brought his work ethic and stalwartness to whatever task he took on.
A voracious reader, world traveler, and lover of sports and music with a great sense of humor, Jase’s most endearing quality was his love of family. Left behind to mourn him are his wife, Barbara; son, Peter (Jenna); grandsons, Porter and Hayes; brother, Sam (Pam); sister, Mary Stevenson (Scott); along with several nieces and nephews, extended family members and a large circle of friends. Jase is preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
A very special thank you to Sanford Medical Center’s emergency room staff, the tireless attention from the nurses and respiratory personnel in the ICU, and the entire medical team at Vibra Hospital. Your compassionate care and kindness toward Jase will always be close to our hearts.
Celebration of Life Service: 11:00 AM, Monday, July 15, 2024 at Grace Lutheran Church, Ada, MN.
