Thomas Dale Larson, 75, of Milltown, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, December 7, 2025. He was born on June 9, 1950.

Tom grew up in Milltown, Wisconsin, and attended local schools, graduating from Unity High School with the Class of 1968. He had a long and successful career as a tool and die maker then an engineer in the plastics manufacturing business.

On June 8, 1974 he married June Quist with whom he played with as a little boy. She lived in the house across the street and also graduated from Unity with the class of 1968.

Tom dedicated his life to serving his community. He was an exceptionally committed and active member of the Milltown Fire Department for 55 years, and he also spent many years serving as an EMT in the area. His passion for helping others was evident in his service, including his dedicated work for the annual Taco Feed.

Beyond his commitment to public safety, Tom cherished time spent on Balsam Lake. He loved fishing and touring the lake on the pontoon boat. He and June especially enjoyed entertaining friends and family at the cabin they owned on the lake. He was also a passionate supporter of his grandson, Scott, and took great pleasure in watching him play hockey and race motocross. Tom will be remembered by all who knew him for his kind spirit, generous heart, and the fact that he always had a wonderful story to tell.

Tom was preceded in death by his loving wife, June Larson; his father, Dale Larson; his mother, Doris (Larson) Gullickson; and his sister, Nancy Burton.

He is survived by his daughter, Marnee and her husband, Lance Kugler; his son, Michael and his fiancé Fallun; and his cherished grandchildren, Scott, Mason, and Camille. He is also survived by his siblings: Bruce Larson, Roger Larson, Jim Larson, Linda Giller, and Lori Larson.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the Milltown Fire Department, honoring Tom’s 55 years of service.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Milltown Fire Department on January 17th, 2026 from 2-5pm. Interment will take place during a burial service in the spring.
