Larry Earl Purdy II born October 4th, 1971, in Downey, California, passed away unexpectedly on March 16th, 2022. Larry grew up in Lucerne Valley and eventually moved to the Sacramento area.

Larry is survived by his mother Lorene Briscoe; spouse Tabitha Purdy; his siblings Sandy McAmoil (Don), Lee Purdy (Tina), Jay Briscoe (Vanessa), Rikie Cervantes (Phil), Courtney Briscoe-Burgan (Derrick), Kory Romero (J.R.), Samuel Briscoe (Raquel); his children Aaron Jarozewski (Mallory), Karie Goni (Jessica), Larry Purdy (Sara), Ren Little (Addie), Wyatt Frazier, Timothy Purdy (Juliana), Sebastian Purdy, Damien Purdy, and Cadence Purdy; his grandchildren Logan Jarozewski, Laura Jarozewski, Liliana Jarozewski, LJ Frazier, Thomas Purdy, Liam Goni, and Alora Purdy; and numerous nieces, nephews, and loved ones.

With such a big family we all have our own stories of who Larry was and will always be. The one thing we can all agree on is that he had the heart of a lion and the hug of a grizzly.

He was a Father, and a Son!

He was a Brother, and an Uncle!

He was a Cousin, and a Friend!

A friend to all who knew him. Larry sure did “ride fast” and we all lost a friend! In our grief, we are all shaken by the totality of him. His unquestionable love for our family. And His love of all things mechanical.

“His Journey’s Just Begun”

by Ellen Brenneman

Don’t think of him as gone away

his journey’s just begun,

life holds so many facets

this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know today

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched…

for nothing loved is ever lost

and he was loved so much.

“If we would’ve known that the memories made would have to last forever, We would’ve taken time to make more of them…” -Unknown

Ride Fast, Ride Free, and Rest easy on the wings of eternity.
