Larrylee Anthony Holtzclaw

Larrylee Anthony Holtzclaw, 43, passed away in Sweetwater, TN unexpectedly on September 17, 2025. He was a loving man whose greatest joy were his kids and his guitar.

Anthony was born in Dalton, GA on April 23, 1982. He found his passion for music at an early age. His guitar was more than an instrument, it was an extension of his soul, a source of endless comfort and joy. He was a gifted musician who could fill any room with melody, playing anything from classic rock to blues. Family and friends will cherish the memories of him strumming his guitar and filling the house with his music. While music was his passion, his even bigger passion was his family and friends as they were his shoulders to lean on through good and bad times. He adored his kids more than anything. He was a constant source of laughter, love, and compassion for his children, family, friends, and his sisters and brothers in Christ.

Anthony was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Anthony "Tony" Holtzclaw and Kimberly Sledge Holtzclaw; his grandparents, Larry and Jean Holtzclaw; and uncle, Mike Holtzclaw;

Survivors include his children, Caleb Anthony Holtzclaw, 21, (Mother, Katie Kimsey), Chloe Leigh Holtzclaw, 18, (Mother, Jessica H.), Alyssa Jean Holtzclaw, 9, Isabelle Renne Holtzclaw, 7, (Mother, Sandy Molina); aunts, Sherry "Sissy" and Louise Holtzclaw and Aunt Carolyn ; cousins, Aaron Stanley, Brandon Holtzclaw, and Vanessia Standridge; along with a host of other extended family members and several friends.

May those left to cherish the memories of Anthony be comforted by this verse: 2 Timothy 4:7-8 that says, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness...".
