Larry Ray Blaine Jr.

Our family is heartbroken by the unexpected loss of Larry Ray Blaine Jr., who passed away on June 7, 2026, at the age of 41.

Born on February 15, 1985, Larry lived life with intensity, passion, and a deep love for freedom. He found joy in motorcycles, the open road, and the thrill of living life fast and fully. Those who knew Larry understood that he embraced life on his own terms, always seeking excitement and adventure.

Larry was preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Norma Ross; his grandmother, Helen Schaefer; and his first wife, Tonya Sue Clifton.

Larry is survived by his grandmother, Susan Sossa; his father, Larry Ray Blaine Sr.; his mother, Sherrie Persinger; his brothers, Jeramy and Hunter; his nephews, Michael and Jeramy; and his nieces, Destinie, Addison, & Madison.

He also leaves behind his loving wife, Laura (Clifton); his children; Kayla, Ivee, William Blake, Larry III, Princess Angel, and April Blaine; six stepsons; his cherished grandchildren, Vivian and Shelby, with two grandsons on the way.

Larry is further survived by many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly, as well as his loyal and beloved dog, Demon.

He will be remembered as an intelligent, hardworking, passionate, and determined man. Larry was always chasing his dreams and striving for a better future for himself and his family. He had a unique spirit that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Like many, Larry faced challenges throughout his life, but those challenges never defined him. Instead, his loved ones choose to remember the man he truly was—a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend whose life touched so many.

Larry’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Though his time here was cut short, the impact he made will never be forgotten.

“Love me while I’m here.”
