Arley Lee Larson, born Dec. 5, 1951, to Clifford and Alma (Ramse) Larson, passed away after a life enriched by family, friendships and simple joys. He grew up on the family farm and later attended special education programs in Canton, SD, and day services at the Sioux Vocational Workshop. Arley lived in several South Dakota communities and for the past 21½ years resided with Advance in Brookings.
Arley especially enjoyed holidays with family, time with friends, and his favorite treats—ice cream, popcorn at the movies, and coffee or pop. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff at Advance for their compassion and care.
He is survived by his brother, Roger (Dorothy) Larson; sister, Lazann Caudill; nephew, Chet Larson; nieces, Nichol Kirsch, Shiloh Jones, and Shalaine Rostomily; and several great‑nieces and great‑nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, baby sister Arlette Jean, sister Twyla Sine, and brothers‑in‑law Jim Sine and Roy Caudill.
