Lawrence Chagolla Obituary

Lawrence Chagolla passed away on October 27, 2024, at the age of 58, in Willows, CA.

Known for his vibrant personality and cheerful spirit, Lawrence was the epitome of a friendly soul who could start a conversation with anyone, anywhere, and was always the hardest worker in the room, never giving up no matter the challenge.

Born on June 17, 1966, Lawrence dedicated over 40 years to working in the agriculture industry, where he skillfully operated harvesters and heavy equipment that are essential to the fields.

Known for his lovable nature and relentless work ethic, he was often the life of the party. His commitment to his work was paralleled only by his love for his family and an array of hobbies that kept his spirit lively.

A die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan, Lawrence 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; along with seven grandchildren, Abigail, Austin, Serinity, Liliana, Zachary, Joey, and Matthew; and one great-granddaughter, Harley, amongst many other family members close and dear.

Lawrence was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph D. Chagolla and Mary Lou Chagolla; and his sister Shirley Keel.

A Celebration of Life for Lawrence will be on November 16, 2024, from 1 PM to 6 PM at Granzella's Banquet Hall located at 457 7th St., Williams, CA, 95987.

We want his past and current family and friends to gather to share the memories we all had with him. His memory will continue to inspire all who knew him, as a man who embraced life with enthusiasm and genuine kindness. RIP beloved Son, Dad, Papa, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, Dear Friend.
