CELEBRATION of LIFE for LARRY Mc-CARTIN:
Thursday, October 10, at 10 AM at the First Baptist Church, 224 Mountain Rd, Grants NM. Following the service, there will be a social gathering and an enchilada luncheon. Please bring your memories of Larry to share with friends and family.
With great sadness, the family of Lawrence “Larry” Francis McCartin announce his passing. Larry was born in Lowell, Massachusetts on August 15, 1945. He lived in Grants, New Mexico, and passed away on September 5, 2024, at the age of 79.
While living in Grants, Larry found his spiritual home at the First Baptist Church of Grants.
His hobbies were flying, restoring antique radios, RVing, camping, fishing, traveling, and volunteering. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Margaret McCartin, and his brother James McCartin, Jr. Larry is survived by his three sisters, Kathy Von Bergen of Placerville, CA, Maryellen Easom of Stanley, ID, and Terry McCartin of Berkeley, CA, his niece Courtney von Bergen of Denver, CO and nephew Garrett von Bergen of Sacramento, CA.
Larry was married twice but had no children of his own. However, he was a proud Foster Parent. He leaves his much-loved foster daughter, Lerayiah “Raya” Jim. Also, Xavier Abeita was a special young man in his life whom Larry mentored. Both Raya and Xavier lovingly called Larry “Grand-Dad”, which filled Larry’s heart.
