Larry Hayes
1942-2019
Larry Bruce “Butch” Hayes, formerly of Snyder and the youngest of four children and only son to Virginia and Garnet Bruce Hayes, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2019.
Graveside service for Mr. Hayes was held on Sept. 10 at the Cook-Walden/Memorial Hill Cemetery in Pflugerville. The service was under the direction of Cook-Walden Davis Funeral Home.
Larry was born on Nov. 20, 1942. He graduated from Snyder High School, where he won first place in a state competition for the four-poster bed he made in wood shop. Larry was always good with his hands and loved old hot rod cars and big semi-trucks.
Over Larry’s career he only had two jobs, a Levi Strauss blue jean manufacturer as the plant manager and Farrah Jeans as plant manager. With this experience and Larry’s love for trucks and entrepreneurial spirit, he was inspired to open his own company, Hayes Trucking Service. For more than 20 years, Larry operated Hayes Trucking Service, Inc., transporting freight across Texas. He eventually retired from freight hauling in 2000 and enjoyed a few short years with his second wife, Ann Dinwiddie, who passed away in 2003.
Larry had an incredible sense of humor, he loved life and always had a smile on his face. Larry was an incredible story-teller, a trait he has passed down to his children.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, LaDonna Jayne “Shorty” Pierce and Linda Upchurch; and his wife, Ann Hayes.
Survivors include his eldest sister, Jerry Davis; his children, Debora Dupree and her husband, Richard, Warren Hayes and his wife, Kristina, Michelle Dorado and her husband, Ray, Jeff Dinwiddie and Rick Dinwiddie and his wife, Wendy; 15 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Memorials may be made to the Christopher House in Austin.
