Larry G. Wattles, 73
May 26, 1951 – August 12, 2024
Larry G. Wattles passed away peacefully at home on Monday, August 12th. Larry was born in Alameda, California on May 26, 1951, to Garland and JoAnn Wattles. He grew up in Billings, MT and attended schools there.
Larry was an avid golfer and in 1997 had a hole-in-one at the Larchmont Golf Course in Missoula, MT. He was a great bowler, basketball player, and softball player. His passion for music and video technology set him on his career path at an early age and he loved his profession until he retired. Larry was a serious audiophile and had an impressive vinyl collection and the best stereo and video equipment. Before his health problems, Larry realized his dream of opening a store that sold only American made products, American Audio in Missoula, MT.
Larry was a true family man and knew that there was nothing more important than making memories with his sons and later with his grandchildren.
Larry leaves behind his wife, Gina of 44 years, and son, Joshua, and daughter-in-law, Linda. His three grandchildren; Kaibri, Lukas, and Reese. His grandchildren always brought Larry such joy and he looked forward to their visits. He also leaves behind a truly wonderful family of 3 brothers, Gary (Denise), Terry (Jan) and Barry (Kathy). Many amazing nieces and nephews and countless friends, who always appreciated his quirky sense of humor and that ever-present smile.
Larry is preceded in death by his youngest son, Casey, a heart break that lasted his entire life.
Services are being taken care of at Seawinds Funeral Home in Sebastian. There will be a Memorial Service announced at a later date.
