Long time Bison assistant coach and all round great guy, Donavon Larson, has died of a heart attack at the age of 57.

My heart goes out to his wife and family.

There's nothing much to add, but here's the Star Tribune story:

I'm sure The Forum will have more to say tomorrow.

Terrible news indeed. Didn't he just step down as coach of one of the MIAC schools in the Twin Cities?

Yes, he recently retired from Hamline University in St Paul.

I read it in the Minneapolis Star Trib. Headline there was Former Hamline Coach Passes Away. It was sad news.

I, too, read the news with a heavy heart and a bit of shock. Coach Larson was a class act and will be missed.
