Larry Santiago Gonzales - February 16, 1962 - March 18, 2022

Departed: 03/18/2022 (Pasadena)

Obituary Preview: Larry Santiago Gonzales, 60, a 7 year resident of Pasadena and formerly of California died on March 18, 2022 at Baltimore Washington Medical Center.

He was born on February 16, 1962 to DeLores and the late Lorenzo S. Gonzales in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he lived prior to moving to California.

Mr. Gonzales was a communication engineer for many years. He was a man of God. He enjoyed playing guitar and all things about cars.

In addition to his father he is preceded in death by his brother Buddy Gonzales and his sister Carla Althoff.

Mr. Gonzales is survived by his wife of 3 years, Becca Gonzales, his son Lorenzo Gonzales, Jr., his mother DeLores Gonzales, his niece Raquela Limprun, and his nephew Matthew Reagan.

Larry was a very special and kind person who had the gift of loving the broken and meeting people where they were in their journey through life. He was a cool guy that you loved to talk to and always walked away feeling like a friend. He was 6’2” with a booming voice and the softest warmest heart. He loved his family and was especially close to his mother who he doted over and his son who was his absolute joy in life. He had friends that he called brothers like James Trujillo and Bill Otey. Anyone who has known Larry in recent years knows that he was a man deeply in love with his wife. They were inseparable and the kind of couple that got peoples attention because they knew they were witnessing a love that is rare. Larry Gonzales was a man that was so greatly loved and who had the capacity to love greatly. Many will mourn but many in heaven will cheer at his arrival. He wanted nothing more than to know God as intimately as possible and now that wish is being fulfilled. Though many tears will fall, I hope he hears our cheers.
