The family of Larry Richard Sellers has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their hero’s final journey. We are honored to fulfill this request.
Our hero enlisted and served in the United Sates Marine Corps during the Vietnam era. Unfortunately, while we know he received an honorable discharge following the completion of his military service, very few details of his service were available at the time of this writing.
As a civilian, Larry went to truck driving school and later worked for the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco, CA transporting inmates.
His hobbies included working on and tinkering with classic cars.
He is preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Shirley Sellers. He leaves behind two children, Trisha and Larry Jr., and three stepchildren, Pamela, Johnny, and Benjamin. He will also be missed by four grandchildren and three great grandchildren, as well as three sisters, Edith, Donna, Leatha, Debra, and a brother, Willie.
