Larry Alan Strasburg, “Pete”, 64, of Fall Creek, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021, in Ogle County, Illinois. He had just started earlier that day on his trip down south to spend the winter in warmer weather.
Larry was born on Sept. 20, 1957, to Marvin and Ellen (Madson) Strasburg and was raised with his older brother on the family farm in Lincoln Township, rural Fall Creek. He was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church and graduated from Fall Creek High School in 1975.
Larry was united in marriage to Pamela Mann on Aug. 20, 1977, and to this union their 3 daughters were born. In addition to farming with his parents and then on his own, Larry and Pam also opened their home to many foster children and through adoption their own family eventually grew.
In 1996, Larry sold the dairy cattle and concentrated on the Strasburg Buffalo Farm, raising the meat to sell, but also traveled throughout Wisconsin with their concession stand selling buffalo meals at various events. After selling the buffalo he worked various jobs locally in the Fall Creek area. Larry enjoyed what Wisconsin had to offer such as hunting, camping, riding 4 wheeler and watching the Green Bay Packers. Larry married Lisa Nall on June 1, 2018, in Eau Claire and this marriage added 4 step children to his life.
