Larry Vallejos, age 70, entered the loving presence of our Lord on March 25, 2021.
He was an adoring husband, father, grandfather and brother. Larry was born on October 23, 1950, in Abo, and raised in Belen, New Mexico. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served from 1969-1973 and served in the Vietnam War.
At the end of his service, he met his wife, Diana, and settled in Dillon, SC. Together, they raised three sons, whom he loved immensely. He worked as a machinist for Wix Company for 38 years. Larry enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing and taking long rides on his Harley. After 48 years, he returned to his hometown to retire with his loyal dog, Luke.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Diana; parents, Nonato Vallejos and Eutimia Jaramillo; sister, Priscilla Vallejos; and aunt, Maria Sais. He is survived by his sons, Robbie (Paula), Jeff (Brandy) and Mitch; grandchildren, Larry Wayne, Mitch, Ryan, Josh and Lacey; siblings, Betty Gutierrez, Tina Silva and Victor Vallejos; sister-in-law, Jill Nelson; and many great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the Kindred Hospice caregivers for their kindness and support.
