The silence in Larry's apartment now echoes with loneliness, a stark contrast to the vibrant memories held dear by his children, Cassi, Alexis, and Nicolas.
On March 28, 2025, Larry Valles, a man who carried the weight of a difficult life, finally found his eternal rest.
His journey was marked by struggles, yet within him resided the cherished memory of a young boy, loved deeply by his parents, Cathy and Salvador. Though time and circumstance created distance, the imprints of his love remain etched in the hearts of his children. They recall the quiet pride in his eyes at ballet recitals, the laughter sparked by his clownish antics at birthdays, the shared moments of faith in church, the carefree joy at the park, and the late-night talks that wove the tapestry of their lives. Larry shared his love for the Lakers, Raiders and boxing with his family and friends. His former wife recalls him calling for mandatory prayer before every Laker game.
In his final days, Larry faced his battles largely alone, his support network small, and the familiar warmth of his family’s presence a distant memory.
Now, his children, grappling with the shock of his passing, must shoulder the burden of laying their father to rest. In their grief, they also face the daunting task of navigating the battle of retrieving his belongings, closing his home, and arranging a dignified memorial.
Larry's passing leaves a void, but we find comfort in the belief that he is now at peace, reunited with his beloved parents.
He leaves behind his legacy in his children, Cassandra, Alexis, and Nicolas, his precious 2-year-old granddaughter, Alina, and his newborn grandson, Jeremiah, along with his sister Linda Valles Luna and brother Salvador Valles.
The last day of his life saw him released from a hospital, his health failing. He passed away in the solitude of his home, the cause believed to be natural. We can only pray that in those final moments, he found comfort in the message of hope, the very message of love and redemption that Jesus offered to all.
In this time of immense sorrow and unexpected responsibility, Cassi, Alexis, and Nicolas humbly ask for your compassion and support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help them honor their father with a fitting memorial and lay him to rest with dignity. Your generosity will ease their burden, allowing them to grieve without the added weight of financial strain.
May the Lord bless you abundantly for your kindness and open hearts. May your gifts, given in the spirit of Christ's love and grace, be multiplied and returned to you in blessings.
