Larry Gene Owens

Larry Gene Owens, 66, passed away Monday, May 5, 2025 at his home.

A memorial Service is scheduled for 10:00 AM, Thursday, May 15, 2025 at River of Life, in Carlsbad, NM with Pastor Ramon Florez officiating.

Larry was born on May 13, 1958 to Lavora (Lacey) and Jerry Owens in Colorado Springs, CO. He moved to Carlsbad with his parents at the age of 16. Larry worked as a baker as a young man with his father. He later worked at the mines and more recently as a welder in the oilfield. Larry had a passion for riding motorcycles and taught many people how to ride. He actually wanted to teach everyone he met how to ride a motorcycle. Larry also enjoyed fishing as well.

Larry was a heartfelt soul—compassionate and thoughtful in every way. His love language was gift-giving, and he always made others feel appreciated. Larry was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, even if it was all he had. Adventurous and spontaneous, he loved to have fun and embraced life fully. He cherished quality time with others and had a special fondness for children and babies.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Dwane Owens; sister, Sherry Owens.

Larry is survived by life partner, Kayla Mitchell; son, Dakota and wife, Emily; daughter, Nichole Jasso; grandchildren: Noah Lee Owens, Windsor Ray Owens, Olivia Armendarez, Izzabella White, Emilee Jasso, Christina Jasso, Nico Jasso; great-grandchildren: Wylder White, Wren White; brother, Terry Owens and nephews, Ray and Justin Owens.
