Jonathan Wallace Larson

Jonathan was born on January 2, 1991 to Steven and Maureen (Richtsmeier) Larson. He was the third child of five. He graduated from Anoka Senior High School in 2009. Jonathan took a very early interest in computers and programming. He had an intern job with Spectrum designing interactive websites at age 13. He became very proficient at programming using various computer languages. He briefly attended the University of Minnesota in their computer science program. Within the first quarter he realized he knew more than the classes taught and dropped out of college to pursue a career in computer technology. Jonathan was very gifted in the area of programming and networking and was highly sought after to solve many corporate technology challenges. He quickly advanced through many different companies as he climbed the ladder of corporate IT. The companies he worked for included: Spectrum, University of Minnesota, United Health, Snap Fitness, Century Link, Proficient, Target, Grubhub, Capital One Bank, Fifth Column, Caribou Coffee, Object Partners, Optum, Gap and finally his own company called Garnet I/O, LLC, whose sole client was Target Corporation in Minneapolis. Jonathan was very extroverted and outgoing, and he considered everyone his friend. He dedicated his life to helping others, especially those who had financial and life challenges. He would often buy strangers and friends meals, gifts, and drinks. He would make his car, truck, apartment, and money available to any who needed to use it for a little or long time. If he saw a homeless person on a street corner he would pull over and give them all the cash he had in his pocket. He loved his cats Cheshire and Freya and called them his children. He was briefly married to Nicole Webb and resided in Chicago for a number of years. He returned to Minnesota and lived in the Anoka, Coon Rapids, and Champlin area until the time of his death. He is preceded in death by his grandparents: Dean and Lois (Huisman) Larson and Wallace and Evelyn (Krisher) Richtsmeier. He is survived by his parents Steven and Maureen (Richtsmeier) Larson, his siblings Michael (Kristina) Larson, Matthew (Megan) Larson, Paul (Holly Ossanna) Larson, Maurisa Larson, and five nieces/nephews: Grady, Rayna, Finn, Lev, and Inga Larson, and numerous friends, cousins and acquaintances. He was friendly to everyone he met and most would call him a close personal friend. He will be sincerely missed by all who knew him. Jonathan left this world to be with his creator on December 11, 2024 at the age of 33 years, 11 months and 9 days.
