Leroy accepted Christ and united with the Church of Christ at the age of 13, in Lanett, AL, where he remained until death. He loved talking about the Lord! To meet him was to love him. He always was quick to smile and always had a childlike, endearing smile. His love for the Lord and his family was undeniable. One can almost hear him saying, “Hey BayBay, what's this?” He was well-loved by his family and friends. His parting words were always “I love y'all Bay!!”

Leroy attended and graduated from
Harrison High School in West Point, GA. He later went on to attend Tyler Texas College in pursuit
Of a degree in Mathematics.

After finishing his time in Tyler Texas, he returned to Georgia, where he became employed by Uniroyal Tire Company, where he worked diligently for many, many years. He later went on to become manager and supervisor,
for Dupree, which was a cleaning company based out of LaGrange, GA. Leroy worked there until he retired in 2006. Even though retired, he still did carpet cleaning for various companies and family dwellings until failing health.
