I just learned last night that Lee Roy had passed away. He was my classmate at Narrows High School. He was always a nice person and my sympathies go to all of you.

To the family of Lee Roy Colley,

I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Our entire family had a unique fondness of Lee and Iva Lee's children. While we had not seen Lee Roy in some time, we often thought of him and asked how he was doing. I can still recall looking up to him in my earlier years because of his football days at Narrows.

We (John, Pam, Kim, Chris and Shannon) send our condolences to your family during this difficult time. We all know too well that time will mend broken hearts and fond memories will replace the sorrow. Be well - you are in our prayers.

Lee Roy...I can't believe it. You are gone! I am going to miss you so much. God must have had something very special to build, and that is why he took you so early. You were hands down, the best builder I have ever known. I am so thankful I had you as a teacher, mentor and very special friend. God bless you, your wife and your daughters you were so proud of.
