Larry Parra was terminally ill and on dialysis, but a close friend tells People he was still happy on Sunday as he headed to an outdoor country music festival in Las Vegas to see Jake Owen, his “favorite artist.”
“He was fulfilled,” says Jason Rogers, 56, Parra’s best friend of 25 years. “He really just wanted to live his life.”
Rogers, who used to live with Parra in Las Vegas, says he moved to Minnesota in February but came back to Nevada for four days to celebrate Parra’s 40th birthday.
On Sunday, the festival’s final day, Rogers bought them both tickets to see Owen.
