Don Norris Larson, 78, of Cedar Rapids, died on Tuesday, November 23, 2021. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are with Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids.

Survivors include his children, Kim (Kevin) Hutchins, Michon (Steve) DiBella, and Matthew (Rebecca) Larson; grandchildren, Katie, Kyle, and Keevan Hutchins, Steven DiBella, Heather (Zach) Roberts and Logan and Kylie Roloson; great-grandchildren, Ethan, Max, Ripley and Mason; siblings, Bernita (Jim) Sorensen, Liana (Gordon) Peterson, and Merv (Dorothy) Larson; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Don was born November 28, 1942, in Milbank, South Dakota, the son of Russel and Ethel (Johnson) Larson.
