Mr. Golladay was born on Feb. 27, 1963, in Decatur to Larry Francis Golladay, Sr. and Carol Irene (Copples) Golladay. He spent his youth in Hillsboro, graduating from the local high school in 1981. A dedicated and hardworking man, he spent his entire career with Bridgestone/Firestone, even relocating to Tennessee for his job and retiring in September 2024.
Mr. Golladay was a simple guy who found joy in the little things, never passing up a good deal while shopping and always ready to fire up the grill for some legendary BBQ. He was a true family man who bent over backwards for the people he loved. Mr. Golladay loved the outdoors, whether it was riding his Harley, fishing, four-wheeler riding, boating or tending to his garden. Most of all, he loved having fun and making memories with the people who meant the most to him.
Mr. Golladay is survived by his wife, Martha Carcamo-Pineda of Mt. Juliet, TN; daughter, Erika (Alex) Spinner, Hillsboro; grandchildren, Hayden King, Ethan Waldier, Elise Rufus and Larry Golladay, IV; siblings, Laurie (Kelly) Jessop of Americus, GA, and Mark Golladay of Lebanon, TN; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Larry and Carol; and son, Larry Golladay, III.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Montgomery County Paws Care, 1123 School Street, Hillsboro, Illinois 62049.
