Larry J. Borrego, 68, slipped away peacefully at his home on July 22, 2022.. Like many things Larry did, he left this earth on his own terms, after a five-year battle with dementia. Larry was born October 18, 1953, in Walsenburg, Colorado to Lloyd and Josephine (Wilson) Borrego. Larry was a cowboy through and through. He enjoyed braiding nosebands and making other tacks such as bits and spurs. His passion was team roping and training horses. Larry is survived by his wife, Valerie of 47 years; daughter Kimi (Gene); son JW (Jessi); grandchildren, Oakley, Aspen, Phoenix, and Jayli; siblings, George, Dave, Bert, Andrew, Carol, Charlotte, and Deanna; sisters-in-law, Anita, Sandy (Ken), and Yvonne; and numerous nieces and nephews and his amazing horse Buck. Larry was employed and retired from the United States Department of Agriculture. A special thanks go out to Abode Hospice (Laura, Melissa, Echo, and Naomi) for the outstanding care they gave him. Per his request, the family will have a private service.
