Larry Oium

Larry Alan Oium, 65, of Mondovi, Wis., passed away Aug. 29, 2017, in his home in Ignacio, Colo.
He was born Oct. 27, 1951, in Mondovi, to Mildred (Oium) Miller. Larry grew up in Mondovi, where he was an active member of his high school band. It was in high school where he met his sweetheart, Bev Weber, and married. Out of that union they were blessed with a daughter, Jennifer (Oium) Rud. Later they relocated to the mountains of North Carolina, where he would brag that he lived one mile from heaven. They would later divorce.
Larry enjoyed his friends, canoeing, working with wood and his Harley. He was very creative and inventive, evident by his homemade sandals with soles from old tires. Riding his Harley was truly a love and a passion of his, as was the outdoors and nature. His dream was to live in Colorado, which he was able to fulfill until his passing.
In addition to his daughter, Jennifer (Travis) Rud of Colfax, Larry is survived by sister Diana (Rich) Berger of Holmen, sister Teresa (George) Boyd of Spring Grove, Minn., sister Kim Miller of Mondovi, brother Ron Miller of Mondovi, sister Jackie (Joel) Miller-Oates of Mondovi, brother Jon (Lisa) Miller of Eleva; granddaughter, Cierra (Aaron) Sarauer of Colfax; great-grandson, Eeliesjah; great-granddaughter, Jocelyn; step-grandchildren, RyAnna, Dylan, Cohen, Cash; aunt, Stella Risen; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Mildred (Milly) and Ron Miller.
A Celebration of Life will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the American Legion, 239 E Hudson St., Mondovi.
