The Lord welcomed Larry Gene Jurak into His loving arms on February 11, 2016. Larry's parents, Lillie Mae and August Jurak welcomed Larry into this world on July 30, 1956. Larry's lifelong love and fascination with trucks and cars began when he was student at Edison High School and began working with his dad at Carnation. Larry exhibited a strong work ethic from the time he was a young man. While working at Carnation, Larry would drive to Victoria to work on a broken down truck, then bring it back to San Antonio that same evening, and then get up in the morning to attend class. In the end, his reward for his hard work as a teen was the purchase of his first Chevy truck which still sits in his driveway. In 1979, his mom introduced him to her favorite server at Picadilly, Agnes. Agnes and Larry have been married for 36 years, and what wonderful times they have had over the years. There were his boys, Brian and Matthew, who made him so proud. Larry was there for Brian's band concerts, and Matthew's Special Olympics bowling competitions and Saddle Light riding lessons. There were the late night runs to Walmart, the car shows, the Z28 TransAm, the trips to Weimer, Walt Disney World, D.C. and Port Aransas, and of course, the George Strait and Reba concerts And, in line with his love of cars and things that go fast, he would often be found in his Lazy Boy watching Knight Rider and Air Wolf. There were the phone calls to Agnes during the day - just to stay in touch. Larry worked at Ingram Park Auto Center for over 30 years. He will be remembered for his love of his family, his tireless work ethic, dedication and loyalty. Larry was the cornerstone of his family and will be missed. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Lillie Mae and August Jurak and his brother Michael Jurak. He is survived by his wife, Agnes, and his sons Brian Jurak Brittany Gamel and Matthew Jurak, his brothers Harlan Jurak and Dennis Jurak, mother-in law, Ann Jendrzey, sisters and brothers in law, Carol Jendrzey, Dr. Diane Jendrzey, Dr. Belinda Johnson Scott, Charles Jendrzey Ruth and Edward Jendrzey Elizabeth, and numerous nieces and nephews.
