Tyrone Larson Obituary
Tyrone "Ty" Larson
MADISON - Tyrone "Ty" Larson passed away on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. He was born and raised on Lake Waubesa in Madison, Wis. He graduated from Oregon High School in 1991, where he played football; he graduated from UW-Platteville in 1995 with a B.S. in Reclamation. After graduation, he started as a temp with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and then climbed the ladder, becoming a Soil Conservationist, a District Conservationist, Area Conservationist, and then Assistant State Conservationist, working across Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ty became the State Conservationist of Wisconsin in the summer of 2023. A career of service to conservation and rural America.
Ty's hobbies included fishing, hunting, following many sports, traveling with family, and indulging in his favorite music. He often did these with family and friends, and loved introducing people to his favorite activities. Ty also loved bringing these experiences to those who had never done them, as well as the youth. He was involved with many different conservation and wildlife organizations. Ty earned his two-gallon pin from the Red Cross for blood donation. He was involved in so many organizations, too many to list, but gave his all to each and every one as if he was a shareholder or lifetime member to many.
Ty is survived by his wife, Laura; son, Alex; mother, Kathy Larson; father, Richard Larson; sister, Amanda Larson; and aunts, uncles, cousins, and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, one uncle and one aunt.
A celebration of life will be held at GUNDERSON OREGON FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 1150 Park St., Oregon, at 12 noon on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 9 a.m. until the time of the service on Tuesday. Burial will be private.
Since Ty was such a big Wisconsin Badgers fan, the family invites all guests to wear their Badgers gear to the celebration.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Groundswell Conservancy.
Ty's family wishes to thank the New Glarus Fire Department and Green County Sheriff's Department for their response and compassionate care.

Dears Laura and Alex.
I am heartsick to hear about Ty. There are no other words to describe it.
You know that I worked with Ty when he was a Soil Conservationist at the Hastings, MI Field Office. I was always so impressed at how unassuming he was, and how respectful he was to those with more experience. He took their lessons seriously and worked at incorporating the knowledge and training he received. I knew early on that he was going to be a star within NRCS.
Ty tried to teach me about pheasant hunting, but as I had no experience with pheasants or pheasant hunting, I can only be grateful for his patience. Maybe it was in an attempt to drive home the point that pheasants were real birds that he presented me with a freshly acquired pheasant fan which I still keep--and has become all the more precious.
Too soon, too young, ty.

Dear Laura and Alex.
I am truly sadden by Ty's passing.
I helped mentor Ty. He was one of the (best). We must continue on with all the wonderful memories and contributions that will live on. Ty was always (grounded). I cannot wait until we meet again and do some fishing together across the river..
