Larry W. Grigg, age 80 of Seguin, passed away on June 16, 2024.  Larry was born on December 29, 1943 in Houston, Texas to Lorene (Butler) Nitsch and Joseph "Joe" Grigg.

Larry lived a life of dedication, hard work, and a profound love for his family and the outdoors.

Larry built a successful career as a communications specialist, working for Southwestern Bell, AT&T, and Southwest Century Communications. His colleagues remember him as a hard working and reliable professional who ensured every job was completed to the highest standard.

Outside of work, Larry found joy in hunting at the family ranches in Crystal City and Fentress, and fishing in local lakes and rivers. These outdoor activities were often spent with family and friends and provided a source of peace and fulfillment for him, and he cherished the time spent in nature.

Family was important to Larry.  His passion for sports and the outdoors served as a foundation for the bond he created with his children.  His days were often spent in the backyard, at sporting events and at the ranch teaching Heath and Brittney invaluable skills and important life lessons. Through his guidance, they learned the value of hard work, responsibility and perseverance, which became the bedrock of their success.

In his early years, Larry was an active member of the Seguin Volunteer Fire Department, where he served his community with distinction. He also participated in the pumper racing team, forging strong bonds and creating lasting memories with his fellow firefighters.

Sports were a significant part of Larry's life. He enjoyed spending weekday evenings playing softball for the church league and the city's over-35 league, where his competitive spirit and camaraderie shone brightly. In retirement, Larry found joy in shooting trap and skeet on Friday evenings and weekends, a hobby that brought him great satisfaction and a host of dear friends.

Larry's retirement years were devoted to caring for the family ranch in Fentress. He spent his days planting and tending to his garden, ensuring it thrived and provided fresh produce for his family. His tireless efforts in shredding, mowing, and maintaining the property kept the ranch beautiful and welcoming for all who visited.

Above all, his love for Pat was his true compass here on earth.  Together, they spent their autumn years enjoying the life they built with their children and grandchildren.

Larry is preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Thomas Grigg.

Survivors include his loving wife of 59 years, Pat Barnes Grigg; son, Heath Scott Grigg and wife April (Tschoepe); daughter, Brittney Grigg Madden and husband Slade; grandchildren, Kolton Grigg, Emery Grigg, Lovie Madden and Mary Madden; step sister, Charlene Nitsch Graeber; sisters-in-law, Barbara Behal and Gayle Barnes; several nieces, nephews, cousins, other loving family members and a host of friends.

A memorial service celebrating Larry's life will be held on Friday, June 28, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. at First Methodist Church in Seguin with the Reverend Ray Perales officiating.  A reception will follow in Hierholzer Hall.  Private interment will take place at a later date in the Fentress Cemetery in Fentress.
