We are crushed, to say the least. His friends are crushed. Thanks to Debbie, Leo, and Mark for being at the house and waiting with us. Brian Tongue I have no words for your guidance for me yesterday when I was not clear-headed. Ray I know you lost a brother and not a cousin, and you better hold onto Lisa because she is a rock. I will post the arrangements when I have them. I will try and make calls and message people back over the next couple of days. I just want to say that when someone loses someone it’s not cool to be the first person to put it on Facebook. And it’s definitely not cool to think you know the cause and post it for everyone to see. That’s why I highlighted Natural Causes. I was one of the first ones at his house and assure everyone it was natural. Leroy was a good guy. He loved everyone and he loved his dog, Tillman. I think he needs to be mentioned because that dog wouldn’t let anyone near Leroy. My kind of Dog. Leroy would want me to mention that. Needless to say, I’m exhausted trying to make sure Leroy is taken care of. I’ve had help from the people I’ve mentioned. But we were more than cousins and I’m drained. Leroy helped me start Whiskey Wednesdays and most of you knew because when I had to take a bathroom break I’d make him talk lol. I can’t possibly mention everyone and I know his siblings and friends are grieving. Hug your loved ones and take care of yourself because you never know when you won’t have the chance. Again Ty for all the messages and calls I will try and return all that I can. Also Thanks to my wife Amanda for the extra hugs!! Rest In Peace Leroy we got it from here and I’ll see you later-ml
Also thank you to Tony Bamba from the stress team and Kathy Lyons deputy warden at intake for caring about Leroy.
