Wick Larson
Wilfred “Wick” Larson was born in Foster County on September 19, 1931. He attended and graduated from Juanita High School in 1949.
Wick served in the Korean War from 1950-1952. After returning, he married his sweetheart Yvonne Beach in 1953. They lived in Fargo for a short time until moving to their lifetime home of Carrington. Wick always had a love of working in the gas station business. First of which was Wheeler Standard and then he co-owned Jim & Wicks and then to Mobil. He finally retired from working while at HE Everson. Wick’s best time was visiting with people and he could strike up a conversation with anyone. He always enjoyed and treasured the time he could spend with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Greatest times for Wick were watching wrestling, especially his grandsons, and going fishing. His bride Yvonne passed away in July 2022 and he joined her for a New Year’s celebration in 2023.
He is survived by his daughter, Becky (Dean) Zink; son-in-law, Robert Miller; grandchildren, Kirk (Karrie) Zink, Jennifer (Randy) Volk, Aaron (Stacie) Larson, and Travis Larson; great-grandchildren, Oakly (Kenzie) Zink, Brooklyn (Wyatt) Aberle, Jensyn Zink, Niko Zink, Gannon (Maija Engebretson) Volk, Indya Volk, Jore Volk, Brandon (Nicole) Larson, Parker Larson, and Morgan Larson; great-great-grandchildren, Adeline Aberle, Ellie Larson, and Jackson Larson; sisters, Sandra (Jerome) Eli and Sharon Risgaard; brother, Larry (Debbie) Larson; sisters-in-law, Diana Beach and Birdella Beach; and many nieces and nephews.
Wick is preceded in death by his wife, Yvonne; daughter, Cindy; son, Steve; his parents; sister, Elaine Sampson; and many in-laws.
Wick’s Visitation will be Monday, January 9, 2023 from 9:30AM-10:30AM followed by a Funeral Service at 10:30AM all at Evans Funeral Home, Carrington.
His Burial will take place in the Spring of 2023 at the Carrington Cemetery.

So sorry to hear of Wicks passing. He was a great friend over the years and always enjoyed our visits with him at Golden Acres. I especially remember all of the conversations I had with him when he operated the gas station, he was always fun to visit with and I totally enjoyed his sense of humor, He will truly be missed by all.
I am sorry we will not make it to the funeral services, we will be in Texas. We will keep you and the Family in our prayers.
Sorry to hear of Wick’s passing away.
He was a great guy and could always make a person laugh.
Hard worker but had time to shoot the breeze when we would meet.
Remember all the good times at his service station and then at Everson’s.
May you Rest In Peace my friend!
May God bless him, his family, and all his friends and may he welcome him into his Kingdom for all of Eternity.
