Homicide Report > Larry Duran Jr., 29
Larry Duran Jr., 29
Died Nov. 28, 2009 at 1:36 p.m.
Larry Duran Jr., a 29-year-old Latino, was shot and killed Saturday, Nov. 28, in the 9200 block of Woodley Avenue in North Hills, authorities said.
Police allege Duran was confronted at his place of work about 1 p.m. by Julio Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Latino. Rodriguez reportedly argued with Duran while he was working in the 16100 block of Nordhoff Street in North Hills, then ordered Duran to get into his car.
Rodriguez drove Duran to an alley, then shot him as he tried to escape, police said. Witnesses told detectives that the pair had been in a dispute because Duran was having an affair with Rodriguez's girlfriend.
Rodriguez allegedly shot Duran several times with a handgun, then drove away. Duran was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:36 p.m., according to coroner's records.Rodriguez is still at large, and police are asking anyone who may have information about his whereabouts to call Dets. Floyd Walton or Ruben Arellano at (818) 832-0554. He was seen driving a gray 2010 Ford Focus.
Update: Authorities say false rumor of affair fueled killing of Larry Duran Jr.

Johnny you need to grow up... Why talk about Larry when he's no longer with us. Fortunate for him he is now in a better place and doesn't need to deal with back stabbers like you...!!! By the way Julio is the only killer in this story that took Larry's life....!!! Get a clue..

THIS IS FOR THE MISERABLE MONSTER THAT CALLS ITSELF JOHNNY:
A SON, BROTHER, UNCLE, COUSIN, NEPHEW, GRANDSON, FRIEND, FATHER AND FIANCE IS GONE! ALL IN ONE GONE!! AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO POST SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!!??
I HAVE NEVER FELT THE NEED TO JUDGE ANYONE IN MY LIFE, BUT TO HEAR SUCH HATEFUL WORDS, WITHOUT ANY REGARD TOWARDS THE FAMILY, FRIENDS OR CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND THAT AT ANY MOMENT MAY READ THIS, IS TRULY AN INSIGHT ON HOW UGLY YOU ARE INSIDE. AND TO GLOAT OVER THE DEATH OF ANYONE REGARDLESS OF YOUR MISINFORMED OPINION MAKES YOU JUST AS BAD AS THAT DEVIL/JULIO!!!!!
YOU ARE A SAD PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!
AND IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY TAKEN A GOOD LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND REALIZED JUST HOW AWFUL YOU ARE, YOU SHOULD PRAY FOR YOURSELF… YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU NEED IT.
AND REMEMBER THESE WORDS WHEN YOU FEEL YOUR STOMACHE ROTTING AFTER YOU SWALLOW WHAT YOU HAVE SAID AND POSTED FOR THE WORLD TO SEE…
YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE!!!!!
YOURS IS COMING

Johnny so you want to open Pandora's Box okay then here we go..Who do you think you are acting like "TMZ" reporting "The Day and the Life Of Larry Duran Jr." you sound like a stalker too me. If what you are saying is true then why didn't you report these actions to the police?? oh that's right there was NOTHING to report. It seems to me that your DEFINITELY a friend or relative of "Julio The Murderer Rodriguez". Before you start posting LIES online learn how to spell, just another uneducated High School drop-out... I know one thing... you know nothing about Larry Duran Jr. He was the most friendly,GIVING,humble gentlemen.. a real man who loved and took care of his son and was excited to become a father once again to his unborn child. I'll put a bill on it your just another HATER who wishes you had his sense of humor and sense of style... I bared witness to more than 500 people at LARRY DURAN JR. funeral that says something about his character... Julio Rodriguez can and will rot in hell.. . Hey Tough Guy "Johnny" you seem to forget to type in your last name..Have fun visiting your home boy in JAIL... I would hang my head in shame if I was related to a MURDERER..How proud his family must be to know they have a heartless coward punk named Julio Rodriguez... The way I see it "Johnny" another MURDERER off the street who I am sure did nothing to serve his country or community and I'll guarantee neither have you.
Feb. 10, 2010 at 8:55 a.m.
IT'S PATHETIC THAT SOMEONE WILL FEEL THE NEED TO TALK SUCH LIES ABOUT THE LARRY EVERYONE KNOWS; FUNNY,CARING,RESPECTFUL,LOVING, FRIENDLY OVER ALL A WONDERFUL MAN. ITS HARD ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH HIM NOT PHYSICALLY BEING HERE WITH US SO PLEASE! KEEP YOUR UNWANTED COMMENTS TO YOUR SELF AND LET LARRY REST IN PEACE!!!!!
Feb. 10, 2010 at 5:48 p.m.
Johnny you probably know what happened you were involved in this i bet your just a little Crappy person who can't understand Crap for nothing from what your saying it sounds like your a stalker and like if you are friends with the murderer and you were involved in this crime before you talk Crap get your things straight i know for sure Larry wasn't a drug dealer selling drugs at his shop he was truly a angel even the best person i knew i miss him at times and think of him everyday thinking all of this was a dream and i would wake up from it soon but like i said before you talk Crap get your facts straight you little piece of Crap. Everyone Cared for Larry everyone misses him his wife misses him and it sucks because he won't be able to see his daughter grow up in life or be next to her by her side and helping her.
Feb. 10, 2010 at 8:47 p.m.
Well Johnny. You must be feeling very stupid & miserable to read for your own eyes how many of us loved and will keep on loving Larry.I hope every word you have read through out these couple of days makes you realize and think twice before you ever have anything negative to say about our "FALLEN ANGEL".....
Feb. 11, 2010 at 10:23 a.m.
TO TELL ALL OF YOU THE TRUTH YOUR SO WRONG. STOP AND ASK YOUR SELF WHT WAS LARRY'S A.K.A BOXER FROM VARRIO SAN FERNANDO JOKERS A DRUG DEALER AND MURDERER. THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DONT SEE BEFOR YOU START TO BASH ANYBODY. I DONT GIVE JULIO ANY RESPECT FOR TAKING A LIFE NORE DO I GIVE ANY RESPECT TO THE PEOPLE WHO DEAL THE DRUGS TO THE KIDS IN THE STREETS OR ARE GANG MEMBERS THAT FIGHT FOR A STREET THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK HE HELPED KILL BY SELLING DRUGS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU THAT CANT SEE THE TRUTH OF IT ALL.
Feb. 17, 2010 at 10:08 a.m.
Johnny... Larry Duran Jr. nickname is "Boxer" for this reason... Our Grandfather, Father, and lil Sister including MY brother LARRY Jr. were Golden Glove Champs... If you would like to come over and watch raw video footage of my brother let me know... if that's not enough for you I also have newspaper articles documenting my Bro as "The Fight of the Night" and then there’s me who went to all his boxing
Bouts... So before you start going wild online regarding my brother get your facts right. I'm telling you NOW have RESPECT for our family who are still and will always be in Mourning!!! This page will continue to be used to place the beautiful memories we all have of my brother. Your comments negative/false are not WELCOME... You will continue to be bashed by those who know Larry for we will stand united by numbers...
Sister Of A Champ!!!!!!!

When I must leave you
For a little while-
Please do not grieve
And shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
Through the years,
But start out bravely
With a gallant smile;
And for my sake
And for my name
Live on and do
All things the same,
Feed not your lonliness
On empty days,
But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,
Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;
And never, never
Be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
Feb. 19, 2010 at 8:39 a.m.
Some people are just ignorant and choose to stand by their preconceived prejudices,and stereotypes of others, because it may make them feel superior. In fact inferiority, is a condition spawned by lack of self awareness and a feeling of not being in control... IN OTHER WORDS SOUNDS JUST LIKE THIS KID ~JOHNNY~ he's probably having a hard time understanding this statement.
Feb. 19, 2010 at 9 a.m.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
(instrumental)
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven!!!

THERE WERE MANY SIDES TO LARRY THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE GOT TO SEE.... SOME GOOD SOME BAD...HE WAS A GOOD PERSON WHO MADE TERRIBLE DECISIONS WITH FRIENDS HE TRUSTED AND PEOPLE HE ALLOWED I HIS LIFE. HE WAS OFF THE STREETS FOR A WHILE WHEN HE WAS MARRIED, BUT SINCE SEPARATED MADE BAD CHOICE OF FRINEDS AND ACTIONS... REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET THE BAD AND MOVE ON. HE IS NO LONGER HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF SO BY TALKING ABOUT HIM DOESNT CHANGE ANYTHING. HE WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED AND DEFINITLETY REMEMBERED... HE HAS LEFT A SPLIT IMAGE OF HIMSELF HIS SON JULIAN.THE BIRTH OF HIS DAUGHTER IS YET TO ARRIVE. REGARDLES OF WHAT YOU KNEW HIM AS... HE LEFT BEHIND HIS SON WHO CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT RECENT VISITS WITH HIM AND HAS PICTURES. NOW THIS LIL GIRL WILL ONLY HAVE HIS PICTURES AS A MEMORY. PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE ALREADY AND LET THIER DADDY REST IN PEACE.
March 2, 2010 at 2:46 p.m.
Sorry I've never told you,
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feelin' and knowing you, hear me
It keeps me alive
And I know your shinning down on me
from Heaven
Like so many friend's we've lost
along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One Sweet Day
Although, the sun will never shine
the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Yeah,Lord,I know,when I lay me down to
sleep You will always listen as I
pray..
Sorry, I never told you
All I wanted to say.....
I, I took your presence for granted
March 3, 2010 at 10:39 a.m.
The last memory I have of Larry is when I ran into him at CVS in Arleta. I hadnt seen him in a years and I didnt think he'd recognize me, but he immediately did. He paused when he saw me and said "hi!, how are you!?" with his huge beaming smile, and proceeded to say, "I am getting married, and I am having a baby!!" He was super elated and all smiles. I said congratulations, and we said our 'goodbyes' and 'take cares'... we never kept contact with one another, but the memories I have of him in high school are all good and cheerful. Always full of life and ready for anything.
May his sweet, loving, cheerful soul rest in peace.
March 3, 2010 at 11:47 a.m.
I WANT MY BROTHER BACK!!!!!!!!!! GOD HELP ME PLEASE.... MY LAR LAR....I can't breathe without you... I LOVE YOU...I LOVE YOU....I LOOOOVEEEE YOOOOOUU!!!!!!!!!
March 4, 2010 at 8:25 p.m.
IM an outsider looking in and I happened to see this picture of a man whom looked familiar, but when I opened it his name didnt match, Although I didn't know this man I read all the comments that were submitted and I feel bad for the family for having to read the negative comments by Johnny. Im sure the victim in this case was a very caring person and its obvious by the positive responses I saw how strong a family the victim had. I lost two friends on Halloween night of 2009 ( nov 1st) and if I saw negativity about them on the internet It would anger me too. So Johnny have some respect and act like you had a mother and father you bastard. Much love to the familia. God bless
March 9, 2010 at 9:04 a.m.
I cant believe the nerve of People, I hope to the negative people on here,that you never have to endure the loss of a loved one to something so SENSELESS.I knew Larry years ago,When I met him,I fell for him so fast,what was not to love!? He was probably the sweetest,for sure the funniest, and most harmless person. To Larry's sister, you were the first person I thought about when I heard about your brother,I know how close you two were as did anyone else who knew him.I'm so sorry for your loss as well as you family's. People who knew him, loved him. I am relieved to know Rodriguez was arrested and will have to face his consequences. I hope he gets maximum punishment and you and your family have at least that little bit of peace.To the negative commentators..Have respect, if you have negative thoughts find away to not add to the Duran's pain they already have to live with,You should respect and pray you are never in their shoes having to defend their son & brother on top of knowing they lost him to something so SENSELESS.no matter what team you are on.it is just common sense.miss you lil de la hoya!<3
March 9, 2010 at 8:56 p.m.
It's crazy how time passes by so fast yet it just seems like yesterday that I saw that bigg smile. You will always be in my heart, and always remembered by the one{s} that truly loved you.... !!!
April 12, 2010 at 11:33 a.m.
I'm an outsider looking in. I feel for the Duran family. It's the worst feeling losing a loved one. Theirs also those questions "Why" , why Larry. Answers that they will never have. I went to grade school, Jr high and High School with Julio. I've known him for many years never was up to no good. Julio was a low life thought he was the man..But in all reality he was just another punk ass bitch...I was'nt suprised at all when I seen his photo on Televison. If anything he came from a background of slanging crack... Julio you deserve to burn in Hell. Look at all the pain you have caused and hurt to the Duran family.If I was your daughters I would be embarrassed to say you were my father and not the least carry on your last name. It's a shame to say I know you...You make me sick. Like they say what comes around goes around. And remember you got kids too,,, Sad to say this but someday this could be your child. Oh and another thing Wolf don't drop the soap fool..Carry up the name FREAK
April 27, 2010 at 4:17 p.m.
Two families lives were changed forever.Have respect for them as you would like for yours.
April 27, 2010 at 6:17 p.m.
Hey ~Sit n Wonder~ read much lately...There has been an update Larry Duran Jr.. was not cheating!!! It was a false rumor..so he was shot in the head 3X times for nothing...now what do you have to say to that and his family????....Larry was a great father and never cheated on his fiancee...you have no idea what we have lost...
May 3, 2010 at 3:49 p.m.
Don't you people think its enough already? don't go along with the negative comments. Please just stop.
May 7, 2010 at 11:51 a.m.
Here's a positive comment... About a week after I found out Larry had passed, I had a very vivid dream with him. We were in a bright white room. He was standing up against a counter. I approached him and asked if he was given a chance to come back. He looked at me and grinned his big bright smile of his and said "yeah, but I am happy here, I wanted to stay"....
Now ever since then I hadnt dreamt of him until last night. In my dream, we got to hang out this time. We had Mexican food danced a little and just plain had a good time. He was enjoying listening to a band play while eating a hot dog, and something else... with chilli and cheese in it. IDK what these dreams mean, but they sure feel real. I personally feel like he is happy in heaven. - Hope this brings some kind of peace to his family, especially his Mother and Sister.
June 15, 2010 at 8:40 a.m.
You know something I really sit in disbeilef at all of your comments on this situation, I cannot understand how some people just want to keep putting salt over an forever open wound for both families, remember it is not the families fault for a persons actions or decisons. I cant believe how anyone can bring up any of their innocent children (and if you knew them, they played together when the two were friends) Keep the children out of it its stricly about Julio now, whatever gods fate for him is...... but sorry to say the lord forgives even a murder if he asks for it, so all of you negitive people just step off already and let larry rest in paridise and julio have his trial. AND LEAVE THOSE INNOCENT BABIES ALONE!!!!!!!
June 20, 2010 at 7:10 p.m.
Rest In Peace Larry. We miss you...you will be forever remembered
July 11, 2010 at 12:26 a.m.
For those with Loving comments "Thank You".... People just don't understand what it's like to wake up "EVERYDAY" and realize that our Larry is gone... Driving in the car a song comes on that either reminds us of Larry or was a favorite song of Larry's... Birthdays have passed holidays etc...We just stare at eachother and there's gap of silence... Imagine a candle burning and just melting...and melting that's how the heart feels. Walking around numb at times with no feeling. Wanting to rip your hair out and scream... Sorry I just don't believe if a human murders a person, and takes them from their family and their kids that if they ask for forgives that a chance to live in "paridise" is given. It's easy for others to talk because it's not their loved one... We Love you Larry and struggle daily to hold on until we meet again.... "Sa La Ma La" "Sa La Cleka"... Forever
July 23, 2010 at 7:31 p.m.
Larry and is X Wife Syliva were "Divorced" before his death!!! Larry and Syliva had both moved on as people do!!! (so this cheating drama is Ridiculous) So again releasing false information will be corrected. We will say it once again ANY Negative COMMENTS OR FALSE RUMORS WILL NOT BE tolerated or allowed to exist on this page. At this time people need to Grow Up and learn to move on with your life and let Larry Duran Jr. FAMILY/True FRIENDS cope with our lose. For every dumb immature comment that is posted just proves, that behind a computer screen there lies a disturbingly pathetic individual with little to do with his or her life. Move on already and do something productive with your life. We Love you Larry Jr. that my friends will never change.
July 25, 2010 at 11:50 a.m.
Larrys family and friends know the truth and thats all that matters. Don't go along with this crap. We Miss You Champ!
July 25, 2010 at 5:14 p.m.
Larry will always be loved by his family & true friend's... Why even bother with negative comments at the end of the day he is resting in peace. It's silly that someone would even mention his X wife in his memories because everyone knows the truth behind it all.Save yourself a breath. Please have a little respect for Larry's family whom will forever mourn him.There will always be a place,song,or person that will remind me of you....!!!!Larry we all miss & love you!!!!
July 26, 2010 at 10:20 a.m.
To Ld
Please grow up. Everyone knows your storys also.Now you have 3 kids. Think of them and stop worrying about his true x wife Sylvia. Yes he was actually married before had a beautiful lil Boy with Sylvia.That looks exactly like his father Larry.
Aug. 5, 2010 at 7:22 p.m.
Not a day rolls by that I don't think of your friendly smile or the way you made us all laugh!!! It was always one joke after another... Your Love for others shines with every great story and memory we have of you and share with the world.
Aug. 12, 2010 at 9:40 p.m.
months have past and i still find my self thinking of my best friend and knowing i would never see or talk to him again....i remember all the break dancing we did in front of my house or in his kitchen.walking every morning to his house to get a ride to school.collecting rocks and indian spears.sharing clothes.cutting each others hair...jumping of the roof into his pool.scaring the crap out of people on halloween"passing out candy"..getting KNOCK OUT by the champ at the jet center in van nuys. my mom making him his first boxing trunks.i could go on and on ....we had great times as kids and teenagers.....and even though we grew apart as adults we always would run into each other and call one another from time to time..i will miss you friend and brother ...and mourn every day for you.
Aug. 18, 2010 at 7:43 p.m.
Larry, I am so happy I was one of the special people that got to share a part of your life with. It's so sad to know that you're gone and I will never be able to see that beautiful smile again!!! I have never ending memories of you and that special place for you is still in my heart. You are thought of on a daily basis may it be a person, place or song..!!!!! You were one of a kind and someone like you will never be found!!!!!!! Rest in peace love, know that your family now peacefully mourns you!!.....
Sept. 13, 2010 at 5:46 p.m.
Dear Ernie,
I remember all your memories as if they were yesterday. You were not only a BEST Friend but a Loving brother...
Sept. 17, 2010 at 8:41 a.m.
Larry, There is not a person , place or song that doesn't remind me of you.... I was very fortunate to have shared a part of life with you!!! You were the most loving & caring person I had ever known. It's sad that I will never see that beautiful bigg smile again, but I am lucky enough to have special mementos...... My heart will always have that special place for you.. Know that you are constantly being thought of and your family peacefully mourns you!!!!!!! You will always be loved!!!!....
Sept. 17, 2010 at 3:03 p.m.
On that day...@ 2pm
"I just got a call from my mom that you were dead,
On an alley, in the valley, murdered, shot in the head?
Nah Larry, how could this happen to you?
Man I'm stuck in denial, just not excepting the truth!
Its as if you can hear me, cause dog I'm feeling you close,
Reminicin on the dayz, making pay & taking Toast.
Not so much for the cream, but livin life for the Dream...
Remember Lights, Camera, Action,
You Boxin & me Rappin.
I'mma carry it out, w/ a sream & a shout,
Larry knock his butt out...
Still Champion in my Heart from the start,
That's No Doubt!!!
I had a dollar, half was yours, yes of course,
And vise verse,
How this Hurts!
We had laughs, more then a million.
Can't desribe just what I'm feelin...
Broken, Confused , Madder then a mother!!!
LARRY DURAN JR. I MISS YOU MY BROTHER.
I LOVE YOU PAPA, ALWAYS!!!
Oct. 18, 2010 at 1:11 p.m.
I am glad that I had the chance to have you in my life. Like all these posts say, what was not to love about you! always such a sweet talker and that smile, wow! You will always be loved and missed. rest in peace sweetheart, you will never be forgotten
Jan. 7, 2011 at 5:59 p.m.
There are days of sadness for me here and there its hard to explain all the emotions I feel at times. I especially think of you on rainy days WOW!! You used to love those days racing in your El Camino driving through the puddle's of water wetting every person that was walking or sitting near the bus stop. I will never forget that... The hardest part is not having been able to see you for the last time not been able to have hugged you and told you that you would always be special to me and that you would always be loved!!!!! Larry you will always be in my heart I don't think your memory can ever surpass anything........
Jan. 14, 2011 at 5:18 p.m.
Valentine’s Day reminds me
of the smile I smile
every time I think of you,
the emotional lift I feel
at the sound of your name.
Valentine’s Day reminds me
of the strength and comfort I get
from knowing
there are people like you in my life.
Everything good about Valentine’s Day
reminds me of you.
Happy Valentine’s Day Bro!
Big Sis Love You!!!!!!

I have to say there are many days when you misteriously pop up in my head and I start to hysterically laugh people must look at me and think "DAMN" this girl is crasy but that's what you did best put a smile on my face by the things you would do and the things you would say "specially "THE APPLE".or giving your mom a fake lotto scratcher.... Happy memories and always happy thoughts of you... I keep you in my heart always.....
March 15, 2011 at 5:19 p.m.
Wishing you a Happy Easter.... much Love always and forever....xoxoxoxox
April 24, 2011 at 8:34 p.m.
Sitting at work listening to your all time favorite "Rage Against The Machine" *testify*... lol.. I can't help but get a clear vision of you rocking out to this song... How I miss the good old days, Larry... Anything to have you back.. <3 <3 <3 ... forever in my heart champ!!!!!!
May 19, 2011 at 1:07 p.m.
I didn't know Larry, but just looking at his picture, you can tell he had a big heart. People get in situations that they shouldn't be in and we all make decisions everyday, some we regret. But when you have a good heart, it takes A LOT to change that. You can tell; just look into their eyes and you can tell who does. Now look at the picture of Julio...case closed.
RIP Larry and may God grant his family and friends peace and comfort.
May 20, 2011 at 4:19 p.m.

I can't believe my Bro is 31 yrs old today!! Happy Birthday Lar Lar..
We made sure we have the works for you... Flowers, Balloons, Bananna Cream Pie, Churros
If you were here I would have received a phone call in the middle of the week (in the evening) asking me to go out with you and your friends to celebrate your Birthday. It would have been somewhere in Hollywood. I would say "Larry I can't I have to work tomorrow"... you would laugh and promise me we will do something on the weekend. How I miss so much about you... things only a sister would know about her brother... your laugh..facial expressions the scent of your many colognes....Fill Mom and Dad with as much Love today as possible make them feel your presence. WE ALL MISS AND ADORE YOU...FOREVER YOUNG

Larry and Family,
I am Jesus' sister and thought of Larry and how much my brother misses him. I saw Larry's picture on my mom's fridge, where it's been since the tragic unbelievable incident. I still am in shock and disbelief and remember what he was wearing the last time I saw him. As classy as always, a Gucci belt and fancy sun glasses. So cute. We all miss him. every time we have a family gathering at home, Larry comes up and nothing but good memories are brought to life. All of us wishing his family strength and condolences. Love, Jesus & Family
July 7, 2011 at 12:24 p.m.
You just popped into my head for a quick second..!!! Thought I had to share this and let everyone know that you are till this day still being thought of. <3 I truly miss that smile, and the smile you would put on my face with things that you said.. I've been to visit you quite often but its not the same. I sit and wonder when we will ever meet again. As you've been doing keep guarding me through life and please dont ever let me stop dreaming....!!! As your always in my dreams & prayers.....

In Loving Memory of my Brother Larry "The Barber" Duran Jr.
"Sunrise June 9th 1980 Sunset November 28th 2009"
I look at myself in the mirror and observe how the loss of my brother has drained my completion and aged me a couple of years soo
ner than intended. I fool the world by covering up my pain with make-up and a smile. I look into my soul and see the positive change I have made and how calm and hippie like I have become. I sit in silence at times when people are laughing and enjoying life, remembering all the laughter I shared with my brother. I’m Thankful to have been your sister in this lifetime and grateful to now have you as my Guardian Angel. Wait for me under the palm tree on the white sandy beach.. I’ll bring the Iced Tea… Love Big Sis (Landa) as you would say!!
