Lawrence Chagolla died in Willows on Sunday, October 27, 2024. He was born on June 17, 1966.
He dedicated over 40 years to working in the agriculture industry, where he skillfully operated the harvesters and heavy equipment that are essential to the fields. He was always the hardest worker in the room, never giving up no matter the challenge.
He possessed a relentless work ethic. His commitment to his work was paralleled only by his love for his family and an array of hobbies that kept his spirit lively.
Known for his vibrant personality and cheerful spirit, he was the epitome of a friendly soul who could start a conversation with anyone, anywhere.
He was often the life of the party. A die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan, he also relished in outdoor activities such as camping, fishing and spending quality time with friends and family, often over a beer, celebrating life’s moments.
He leaves behind a loving family, including his daughters Christina Boyes and Rachel Rodriguez; sons Larry Pineda and James Chagolla; grandchildren Abigail, Austin, Serinity, Liliana, Zachary, Joey, and Mathew; and one great-granddaughter, Harley. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph D. Chagolla and Mary Lou Chagolla; and his sister, Shirley Keel.
A Celebration of Life is to be announced later. His loved ones want his past and current family and friends to gather to share the memories they all had with him.
His family agrees, his memory will continue to inspire all who knew him. He was a man who embraced life with enthusiasm and genuine kindness.
“RIP beloved son, Dad, Papa, uncle, nephew, cousin, dear friend.”
