So sorry for the lost. Leroy was a wonderful , caring , and spiritual person who loved Jehovah and family and people. He wanted to help as many as he could to come to know Jehovah. He will truly be missed, but we look forward to seeing him again soon in Paradise. Our prayers are with his family.

Losing my Uncle Leroy on this past Saturday morning was a hard hit. I know that no one is perfect but this man here was as close as you can get to perfection. Humble, sincere, hardworking, caring, trustworthy, and would do anything for his family and friends. A true family man, he loved his family so much!! My eyes just teared up typing that...wow. All truths!! He cared for his neighborhood, Kennedy Heights, just like he cared for the congregation he attended. He just cared for and helped so many in so many ways. Uncle Leroy was my mom and aunts last living brother. Out of 11, 6 girls and 5 boys, there are 4 left. The reality is that we all know that days like this will come, but knowing and being prepared for it is what sucks because we are never prepared to lose a loved one. Please keep my aunt, cousins, and the rest of the Thomas family in your thoughts and prayers. We lost a genuine soul here....
