A huge thank you to Colby Kashmitter for capturing drone footage of Richard Larson's final ride through Palmer.

It was truly amazing and humbling to see so many people lining the streets to pay their respects. The outpouring of support was a testament to the impact Richard had on our community and the lives he touched over the years.

Palmer showed up in a big way, and it was a beautiful final tribute to a local legend.

Tomorrow, Richard Larson will make his final ride through Palmer. Following the funeral service, Richard will ride through town on the back of his flatbed truck on his way to his final resting place at Snake River Cemetery.

If you are able, please consider lining the streets of Palmer to pay your respects and give Richard one final goodbye.

The funeral service begins at 11:00 a.m., with his final ride expected to pass through town "around" noon.

A true local legend, Richard touched many lives and will be deeply missed. Let's send him off the way Palmer knows best—with respect, gratitude, and a small township standing together.

Forever in Palmer's heart ❤️

Palmer will never be the same...
Some people leave behind memories — you left behind stories, laughter, and a mark on this town that can never be replaced. The rainbow that appeared as you passed felt like one last sign from heaven for a true local legend. Rest easy, Richard Larson.
