Alan L. LaRush, age 66, of New Post, WI, passed on Monday, July 5, 2021 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI.

Alan Lee "Bodie" LaRush was born April 20, 1955 in Hayward, WI, son of Gertrude LaRush and Francis Dowd. He attended school and graduated from Hayward High School. Throughout his lifetime, Bodie was a man of many things, including the successful business owner of Bodie's Mechanical, a Third-Degree Member of the Three Fires Midewiwin Society, but most importantly a family man. He seized every opportunity to share his sense of humor, teachings, and love with all of his grandchildren, family, and friends. Large gatherings at his home in New Post made him happiest, especially when he was surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, and all other family members. His warm smile and CHI-AHO will be greatly missed. Giga-gwiinawenimigoo aapiji Opwagan.
