            He and his wife Lorna were married in 1965 and celebrated 57 years of marriage two days before his passing. 

            Dwaine loved spending time with his family and looked forward to when they came to visit.  He loved hunting, spear-fishing, fishing, gardening and going to threshing and farm shows.

            Dwaine was preceded in death by his parents, Herby and Bernice Larson, and daughter, Nicole Larson.
