Larry Dwight Jenkins Larry Dwight Jenkins of Hathaway Pines passed away peacefully on September 1, 2026, at the age of 82. Born on August 24, 1944, in Santa Maria, California, Larry grew up in Oklahoma before returning to California. He ultimately made his home in Calaveras County, where he became a deeply respected and beloved face in the local community. Known for his dependable nature, steady work ethic, and quiet wisdom, Larry dedicated over 40 years of his life to the telecommunications industry. His commitment to others extended far beyond his career; he spent decades protecting and serving his neighbors, first as a member of the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Reserves and later as a volunteer firefighter for the Ebbetts Pass Fire Department. Following his time with the department, Larry channeled his generous spirit into a gentler calling, finding sheer joy in dedicating his time and love as a cat foster parent for the Calaveras County Humane Society. He was a man of diverse talents who found great purpose in public service, but his greatest passion and profoundest joy was always his family. Larry was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 46 years, Diana Jenkins. He is survived and dearly missed by his son, Larry Jenkins Jr. of Hathaway Pines; his daughter, Machelle Homer and son-in-law Thomas Homer of Galt, daughter, Ruth Jenkins Cooper of Galt; and grandson, Joseph Cooper of San Luis Obispo. In accordance with Larry’s wishes, no services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Calaveras County Humane Society, Donations – Calaveras Humane Society.
