We were childhood/high school friends who shared the dating scene back then. He was ALWAYS the perfect gentleman. A class act, that was a HARD act to follow. RIP my dear friend, YOU ARE TRULY MISSED!!! And NEVER forgotten.

Lerone was a great friend who always kept me laughing. The last time I saw him was in 2010 and he just pulled me aside and said it looked like their was something on my mind. It was about my father. We spoke and he just advised me and was so genuine and instinctivelysaid all the right things. He told me he cared about me and that meant so much. I can't believe it has been 7 years. Once again I pray that grace and joy continue to cover the family.

I attended the same church and came into contact with him often. He was a kind, sweet man and I am thankful that he and I crossed paths in this life. Still miss that smiling face. REST IN PARADISE my friend.

I worked with Lerone in DeKalb County and he was always pleasant and enjoyable to work with. He is gone much too soon and will be missed. His family will be in my prayers

My friend, your absence has left such a void. The voice of a wonderful person has been quieted, but the spirit lives on. Oh, how I will miss you. To the immediate family, my sincerest condolence.
