Larry Oman

Larry Earl Oman, 81, passed away on July 10th, 2026 while maintaining the land he loved. Larry was born on January 11th, 1945 in Wadena, MN and graduated from South High School in Minneapolis, MN in 1964.

Larry married the love of his life, Linda, on October 22nd, 1966. They began their family and, in 1978, moved to Little Falls, MN to operate a dairy farm. During those years, Larry also worked full-time at Quebecor Printing in St. Cloud. Even when life was busy with family and work, Larry made time for trap shooting (he was a natural marksman) and for training his beloved German Shorthair hunting dogs, Mox and Maxine.

After retiring, Larry had more time to enjoy fishing and hunting. He purchased land in Leader, MN, where he loved being near family. He took great pride in the food plots he created and tended, nurturing the deer and wildlife that lived there.

Survived by his wife of 59 years, Linda (Doten) Oman; daughter, Angie (Bob) Deering; son, Brian (Valerie) Oman; and grandchildren, Robert Deering, Kristine Deering, Erin Deering, August Oman, and Henrik Oman; as well as many dear cousins, family, and friends.

Preceded in death by his parents, Ruth (Dailey) and Richard Oman; grandparents, and other loved ones.

His dedication to his family will remain a lasting part of his legacy. Larry is cherished so deeply that missing him is a part of us, a quiet reminder of how lucky we are to have known and loved him.
