Victoir P. Lieurance Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 25, 2005.
Victoir P. Lieurance didn't enjoy having his picture taken, but his wife is happy she finally managed to convince him last year to sit for some professional photos with his family. Looking at those pictures a day after learning her husband had been killed in Iraq, Penny Lieurance's voice broke as she recalled telling him, "I want the boys to have pictures of their daddy." Lieurance, 34, of Seymour, Tenn., was killed Aug. 22 by a roadside bomb in Samarra. He was assigned to Sparta. Lieurance's sons are 4-year-old Chase and 23-month-old Damien. He also was a father to Penny's daughters by a previous marriage, Alina, 12, and Ciera, 9. Lieurance joined the Army right after he got out of high school. He went on to serve seven years in the Army before joining the National Guard in 1997. His parents are both retired from the Navy. "He was the most proud when he was in his military uniform," said his father, Andre. "When he first signed up, he wanted to go for the full 20 years, but we had to talk him into four. He knew the military, he knew what was involved with it _ the separation, the risks."

He was the best gunner that he could be. I can still remember him on our bradley grinning and laughing. Glad I and my wife had the privilege of knowing him in Ft. Hood (1995-1998), Thanks buddy!!!

I just found out about Vic. I've been trying to track down his mom. I knew him when he was really small. His mother Peggy lived down the street from us and I only saw him maybe a dozen times. I'm sorry for your loss.

In Memory of Victoir ~ (Debra Estep)

August 22, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Victoir, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I just want to say, thank you Staff Sgt. Victoir P. Lieurance for fighting for my freedom. My brother Ward H. Bowen Jr. is leaving in Oct., 2006 to go to Iraq. Its one of the scariest things to have to face and one of the most heart-ripping ways to say good-bye to a family member. He is my hero and I am so proud of him. God bless everyone out there who is fighting for our country and our freedom. Thank-you always! My heart is with your wife and children Staff Sgt Lieurance.

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!



If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!!!

I served with Victoir in Germany. We were not close friends, but I am saddened by his loss nonetheless. I remember him as a quiet, dependable professional, well-liked by his peers. His sense of humor also stands out in my mind. You will not be forgotten, Victoir. Scouts Out!
