Ingemar “Swede” Larsson

Ingemar “Swede” Larsson was born on May 29, 1937 to Rolf and Ellen Larsson. He passed away on May 26, 2015. As evidenced by his nickname, he was born in Sweden and moved to the United States at age 11.

In his early years, Swede served as a cook and then a food inspector in the Army Reserves. Later, he worked as a meat cutter, then a log truck driver (he owned his own logging truck). In 1999, he retired from Segale/ICON where he worked as a dump truck driver.

Swede had a love of fast moving vehicles. This passion was demonstrated through his work on hydroplanes and sprint cars, and the time he spent watching NASCAR.

Swede is survived by his wife of 53 years, Kay, sons Doug (Barbra) and Robert (Lorraine), grandchildren Andrea, Rhiannon, Klayton and Ava, and great-grandson Jack.

A memorial service celebrating Swede’s life will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 6, at Lake Sawyer Christian Church, 31605 Lake Sawyer Rd SE, Black Diamond, WA.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Salvation Army, 26419 – 16th Ave. S., Des Moines, WA, 98198 or the charity of your choice.
