Our deepest sympathies to the entire Hiers family, especially to Barbara and to our dear friend Barbie and her family. In the few years we've known Leroy, he always treated us with the utmost respect and opened up his home to us many times. When our own son was seriously injured, he took time out from everything he was going through to make a point to come and see us. We will miss his spirit and kindness. RIP Leroy - until we meet again.

Barbara and family. I have always know Leroy, but never as a friend until I joined his church about three years ago. My family and I have grown to love and respect him so much. He has been my inspiration to keep going no matter what is going on because that is what he has done. Indeed a mountain of a man. My sincere sympathy goes to Barbara and the entire Hiers family.
