Obituary For Larry "Larebear" Russell O'Donnell
Larry Russell ‘Larebear’ O’Donnell, age 62, born on January 6, 1962, of Deforest, Wisconsin passed away on Friday, October 18, 2024. Larry was the father of Shane O’Donnell who preceded him in death; he is survived by his children John O’Donnell, Nicole O’Donnell, and Cody O’Donnell; mother of his children Diana Price; his mother, Diann Olsen & seven siblings. Larry’s favorite pastimes were mowing grass with his best friend, Bob Bliefernicht, riding motorcycles with his children and all the ‘unadopted adopted’ kids he adored. He enjoyed spending time hunting with the boys and always wrestling & gardening with his grandbabies, Vera (4), Waylon (2) and Cashton (1).
A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, November 2nd at 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Ryan Funeral Home 6924 Lake Road, Deforest. We’ll be hosting a celebration of life at Larry’s house at 1 pm after the wake; food, gathering and some of Dad’s favorite kinds of therapy!
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the funeral home or to the family to help cover the cost of funeral services. Larry was the best father, friend and comrade anybody could ask for. He was absolutely loved.
