Carl "Jake" Norman Besonen

Riding the golden streets on two wheels

Jake gained his wings after a short and tough battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Jake had a love for music and riding his Harley. Each year he hunted deer with his brothers and nephews at the family farm. He worked for the rail road for 37 years.He's survived by his daughters Nicole Dawson, Meggan Munster and Hollie (Jake) Laakkonen and grandsons Zayden Hylton, Luke & Waylon Laakkonen. Also survived by brothers Arnie (Nadene), Stan, Dennis (Chris), Donald, Darrell, Bryan (Carol), David (Jill) and sister Muriel (Russ) along with many nieces & nephews. He's preceded in death by his parents Arne and Kathleen Besonen and sisters in- law Carmen & Kim. We take great comfort knowing he's no longer suffering or in pain and was able to go be with our Lord. He will be deeply missed by friends and family.
