Steve Larson passed away on Wednesday, August 27th, 2025, at the age of 61, in Williston, North Dakota, after a brief, but courageous battle with cancer.

Steve was born in Missoula, Montana on November 8th, 1963, and was then adopted by Tom and Bernie Larson, who lived in Miles City, Montana. Steve attended Sacred Heart high school, and during this time he began to find his love of cars, especially Ford Mustangs and Broncos.

After high school, Steve attended college in both Bozeman, Montana and Bismarck, North Dakota and later found his way to his favorite place on earth, West Yellowstone, Montana. He held a few jobs that he loved while in West Yellowstone, most notably working for Polaris, and eventually working the last 23 years for Energy West, supplying natural gas to the community.

While in West Yellowstone, he continued to pursue his passions, the love of working on and collecting cars, hunting, and spending time in the mountains, as well as serving the community. He was most passionate about his love of Ford Broncos, restoring a 1967 model and buying his prized possession, a 2021 Ford Broncos Sasquatch edition. He spent countless hours with his Ford Bronco Club and went by the moniker "Day Drinking Daryl" and always had a Sasquatch stuffed animal with him during his various adventures. He was also very passionate about supporting military veterans and helping the Montana Veterans Meat Locker and their efforts to support those in need, and to just say thank you for serving their country.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Tom and Bernie Larson; his grandparents, Dominik and Sophie Chewerda, and Harvey and Mae Larson; and most recently by his uncle, Roger Chewerda, and his uncle and aunt, Jim and Kathy Phillips. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Bill and Kay Jacobs, their son, Tony Jacobs, all of Williston, North Dakota, Mike and Lennie Larson, of Denver, Colorado, and many cousins.
