He is survived by his wife: Annette McLeod; three children: Tonya Harris, Darryl Harris, and Monique (Kerry "Duke") McLeod Dawkins; six sisters: Annie Margaret Avery, Lois McLeod, Ollie Mae (Ollie James) Carter, Manletta "Jimmie" Howell, Camaletta (Anthony) Bishop, and Gloria Cooley.
He was preceded in death by three brothers: Robert McLeod Jr., Joseph Glennie McLeod, and Fred Marvin Woulard, one sister: Catherine Stanberry, and one son: Melvin Land, in addition to his parents.
