Dick Arnold Rasmussen

Dick Arnold Rasmussen, 65, of Sisseton, SD, passed away Monday, January 9, at Avera St. Lukes hospital in Aberdeen. 

Dick was born March 13, 1957, to Otis and Ella (Anderson) Rasmussen in Sisseton, SD.  He graduated from Sisseton High School.  From there, he attended Wyoming Technical College at the Automotive Trade School.  

Dick had two children, Nathaniel (Nate) Rasmussen and Nichole (Nicky) Larson.  In 2016, he married Ann Hawley (Johnson). 

In his lifetime, Dick did many things, he was a mechanic by trade and owned the Pierpont Service and Supply.  He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and seemed to always be tinkering with his Harley.  He had a love for rock and roll music and he was never afraid to show off his great dance moves.  He liked to start his day with a few cups of coffee and a book.  After a long day at work, he enjoyed hanging out with his friends in the shop.  

He is survived by his son, Nate and daughter Nicky (Jared) Larson as well as his six grandchildren.  His brothers Terry (DeLaine) Rasmussen and Randy (Jerri) Rasmussen, his sister Becky Lundquist as well as several nieces and nephews.  He is preceded in death by his parents Otis and Ella Rasmussen and his wife, Ann.  

His wishes were to be cremated and to have one last party at the shop.  In addition, there will also be a memorial service held at Buffalo Lake Lutheran Church later this spring.
