Larry Wayne Gillespie1,2,3,4,5,6

M, b. March 18, 1957, d. August 27, 2024
     Larry Wayne Gillespie Larry “Wayne” Gillespie, 67, received his new body on August 27, 2024 and is now walking streets of gold. Wayne was predeceased by his first wife, Becky. He was blessed to continue relationships in this family. He had a special bond with this “Ma”, Ocie Thompson, who remained a mother figure in his life. He is also predeceased by his father-in-law, David Radford. He is survived by his wife, Lisa Radford; daughter, Brandy Hall (Lenny); brother, Gary Gillespie (Vicky); sisters-in-law, Pam Snead (Ross), Debbie Collins (Rodney), Sue Conner (Glenn), and Patsy Harris (Gary); brothers-in-law, Ricky Thompson and Gary Thompson (Sonya); and mother-in-law, Arlene Radford. Upon marrying Lisa, his family certainly grew. His step-children include, Sabrina Schulze (Dustin), Vicky McAlexander, and Jacob McAlexander. Wayne loved being with his family and adored his grandchildren. He was looking forward to the birth of a new great-grandchild. His grandchildren include, Shaylee, Malachi, and Judah Hall; and step-grandchildren, Shauna, Garrett, Kylie, Wyatt, and Arick Schulze, Lilah and Emberly Hollandsworth. Wayne loved his numerous nieces and nephews, often searching for the perfect gift for special occasions. He was especially skillful at picking greeting cards for everyone and often included unique messages. Hunting and fishing were a major part of Wayne’s life. He started teaching the children at a very young age to fish, and they considered him an expert. Wayne also loved to garden but was unable to do so in recent days. He was loved by all who met him and would help you in any way if you asked. Even though he hurt many days, he would always say “I’m fine.” Wayne truly loved sitting by the pond and playing with his dog, Rocky. Rocky was able to visit Wayne at the hospital, and their bond was very special. In honor of Wayne and Rocky, we would like for you to consider some gesture to enrich an animal’s life. You could donate food, adopt, or simply give a donation to the organization of your choice. Every dog deserves to have a special human like Wayne. His memory will live on in all who loved him. Interment will follow in Beaver Creek Cemetery.6 He was buried at Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery, 409 Ridgeview Road NW, off Rt. 8 N, Floyd Co., Virginia.6 He married Lisa Rene Radford, daughter of David Radford and Lindal Darnell Martin.6 Larry Wayne Gillespie was born on March 18, 1957 at Roanoke Co., Virginia.3,4,5 He married Becky Lee Thompson, daughter of Harry Dalton Thompson and Ocie Marie Martin, on October 8, 1977 at Floyd Co., Virginia.1,7,3,4 Larry Wayne Gillespie died on August 27, 2024 at Virginia at age 67.6
