Iowa City

On July 15, 2023, Randy Mark Larson, a devoted son, loving and forgiving brother, well known community figure, having never met anyone he couldn’t turn into a friend, passed away after a lengthy battle with the long-term effects of aggressive cancer treatment.

Larson was preceded in death by his father, Keith.

He is survived by his mother, Laverna, formerly of Ames and currently of Iowa City; his siblings, Cindy (Frank) Anderson of Brevard, N.C. Alan Larson of Iowa City and Jan (Ralph) Rayburn of Miami Shores, Fla.

Pat White, all of Iowa City.

Love and blessings to them for supporting Randy and his endeavors for many years. To the legions of others, he called friend, may you live everyday with the same Lust for Life that Randy did. Yes, that was an Iggy Pop reference. Randy lived a life full of knowledge, skill, variety, loyalty and love, but very little sleep. He was too busy for that. He was one of a kind.
