Julian "Larry" L. McLinden

If you ever met Larry, you had a friend for life. Larry was born 12/1/1948 in Columbia, SC, the son of Charles and Mary McLinden. Larry left us on Sunday March 14, 2021. He has gone on to that Great Church in the Sky to be with his Lord and Savior, and his friends and families that have made this journey before.

He is survived by his sister, Debbie and her husband, Tommy Wilson; a special nephew, Charlie McLinden; Judy Griswold (his cousin and caregiver); nieces, JoAnne Michau, Terri Frick, Cindy Sweat and Rachel McLinden; nephews, Jason Frick, Josh Frick, and Robert McLinden and a very special friend, Fran Sox. Larry was predeceased by Mary McLinden, Charlie McLinden; brothers, Butch McLinden, Jimmy McLinden, Robbie McLinden and infant sister, JoAnne Mclinden. Also included, as survivors, are Cookie McLinden, Tony Michau, Kevin Frick and extended family.

Larry was a faithful member of Chapin Baptist Church, a choir member, Sunday school member and SALT. Larry was a man of many talents, but the most important was serving the Lord and others with a smile.

He was employed in many areas, but his favorite was driving for SeaPro boats. He also enjoyed working with AT Home Senior Care as a caretaker for Marshall and Jeffrey Hooker.

With a smile that never left his face, we think that Larry heard the Lord say – “Well done, good and faithful servant, come home.” Larry loved life and family/friends, but he was ready for Heaven. He would probably say, “BYE Y’ALL, I’m “going home”.

Visitation is Friday, April 2, 2021 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Chapin Chapel and services will be on Saturday, April 3 at 1:00 pm at Chapin Baptist Church.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Chapin Baptist Church, 950 Old Lexington Highway, Chapin, SC 29036.
