Jeffrey Neal Larson, 67, of Red Wing, died Saturday, January 5, 2019, at St. Crispin Living Community, after a six month battle with cancer. He was born June 30, 1951, in Red Wing, to Neal and Betty (Johnson) Larson and graduated from Red Wing Central High School in 1969.

When he wasn't tinkering or building things, he loved to go fishing,--whether it was trolling the river, salmon and halibut fishing in Alaska or ice fishing, he enjoyed it.
