Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences to his family. I will always remember his wit and humor and love for his family. May you all sense God's presence during this difficult time.

Leandro (aka) Shorty and I spend many years having fun in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We were like brothers. When he got drafted he asked me to join the Army so I did. After all our military training he was deployed to Vietnam and I was deployed to South Korea. After our Military service we went back to Michigan and enjoyed Life.

Love you brother with all my heart ❤ another one like you will never be . You were very patient, loving.and understanding.

Thanks for your service. God Bless

What a sweet, caring man with that contagious laugh. Leandro Lara was a perfect addition to the family when he married Sharon Williamson; a perfect match. But in 2011, Lee lost the love of his life. The McLenithan family continued to show Lee he was and always would be their brother-in-law. Lee decided he wanted to connect with his family in Texas, which welcomed him with open arms. We missed him when he left, but always kept in touch. Lee is now at peace and is once again with Sharon.

May u RIP n say Hi to all ur family that u will rest with them now especially with ur mom n Dad n ur daughter hope they all receive u with open arms May they all RIP n all the Lara Family with u up in Heaven
