I moved to Houston in 1986 too attend I.T.T. Electronic school, Layton was one of the first people I met, Even though Layton and I lost touch after electronics school I never forgot how nice and kind of a guy he was, which was refreshing as I didn’t know anyone in Houston, besides being a nice guy, Layton was a sharp dresser. Even though it’s been so many years ago that I met Layton, and we really only knew each other from school, I have nothing but good memories about Layton.

My most sincere condolences to Leyton's family. I too had the good fortune to work with him at Global Marine. Leyton would go out of his way to help you and always had a smile and a sense of humor. Gone way too soon...

Norma,
I am so sorry for your loss. As great a woman as you are, your son is bound to have been of equal stature.
May God bless and comfort you in your time of grieving.

I will never forget that wonderful infectious giggle. What great memories of Northampton, Klein, and Southwest. I have heard so many wonderful stories of "me and Leyton" from Gregory and I know they will continue forever. God bless Leyton and his family, our prayers and thoughts are with you.

God Bless Leyton Jeter!!!
Leyton & I could not have been any closer. There are so many great memories I cherish. He taught me so much, especially about life. My first born son is named after him. I was so sad when we had to part to different colleges, but our friendship only strengthened. I will continue to celebrate my great friend's life and memories until we soon meet again.

Leyton was such a sweet and truly genuine man. I was fortunate to work with him at GSF (Global Marine) and there was many a Monday when he had a loving story to tell about Shannon and his children from the previous weekend. He exuded happiness and his face would literally brighten when he spoke of his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope your memories will help to sustain you during this most difficult time.

My Daddy and Leyton were friends for over 29 years. Leyton was always around when I was little, I rememeber going over to Jeter's and swinging on the swings Just runnning around and being a kid. I might of been very young but everytime I saw Jeter he had a smile on his face. Jeter was a good guy and he will be missed very much!! But we all know now that he is watching over us and he is with us at all times!

Having "Adopted" Leyton into the Global Marine Family way back in 1992 - I can tell you he will be seriously missed by everyone he touched. To know Leyton was to like Leyton. My sympathy to all his family and friends.

Eric and Norma: I am very sorry to read of the death of your son. Of course, I never met him, but I am sure he was a fine son, brother, husband, father and friend to many. My deepest sympathy to you, dear friends of many years past.

Saturday a wonderful man, my Nephew died. He left this world for a much better place & is now in heaven with Jesus. We all miss him, but we thank God that he had received Jesus as his personal Savior and that one day we will see him again.
He was a good father & sure loved all his children. He was so proud of each of you & I could see his face just glow with pride when he talked about you. I am so sorry for your loss of him at such an early age. I love each of you. Uncle Jim.

To Leyton's family, parents, friends & loved ones... I am deeply saddened by your loss and offer you all my dearest condolences.
I had the opportunity to have met Leyton while working at Global Marine in 98-2003, and simply just adored his friendly, sweet, laid back disposition. Leyton will truly be missed.
It's not the years in your life, it's the life's in your years.....

Leyton was one of the "good" guys from the Global Marine family. Always willing to help with whatever problem needed to be fixed or just being a good friend. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs, Mo

I am so sorry to hear about Leyton's death. He helped me a lot while he was working at Global Marine. I still have the printer he gave me (his own)when my became inoperable. He was so young. My deepest symphony to his wife, children and family.

Wow, Life comes at you fast. But that never seemed to bother Leyton. I worked with him for a good five years at Global Marine and don't remember ever seeing him get flustered, or angry, frustrated at times yes, but always steady and easy going, good natured and kind. A lot of fun to be with in a slow souther style that was so characteristic of the country gentleman.
Let's all remember our friend with love and kindness. He was a very special man who took life as it came and lived it on his own terms.
God bless you my friend.
You will be missed happy trails...
See you soon.
