In Loving Memory of

Lawrence “Larry” Robert Candelaria

June 25, 1966 – 2026

Beloved Husband, Father, Papa, Brother, and Friend

Lawrence “Larry” Robert Candelaria was born on June 25, 1966, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Lawrence and Mary Candelaria.

Larry graduated from Valley High School in Albuquerque before attending electrical trade school. He went on to become a proud union electrician with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). He dedicated 40 years to his career as a journeyman electrician before retiring in 2024. Larry took great pride in his trade, his hard work, and the friendships he made along the way.

Larry discovered his love for bowling at just 12 years old, a passion that stayed with him throughout his life. He was actively involved in the bowling community in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he organized and ran numerous bowling leagues over the years. He was also a devoted fan of the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Reds. During his years in Albuquerque, he enjoyed spending time outdoors and hunting with friends.

Above all, Larry was a devoted family man. He is survived by Carla, his loving wife of 32 years; his children, James, Kimberly, Amanda, Elijah, Mariah, and Noah; and his cherished granddaughter, Valerie. He is also survived by his sisters, Lisa (Matt) and Lori; his nieces, Jennifer and Lisette (Easton); his great-nephew, Zane; his father-in-law, John Martinez; along with his sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews, extended family, and many dear friends.

Larry will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his strong work ethic, his love of bowling and sports, and the many wonderful memories he created with those who knew and loved him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
