To the Taylor family: Leroy will truly be missed! We played football together at HHS! Even though we didn't speak everyday, whenever we had the opportunity to talk it was always just like the day before. God has truly called home a good one! I will continue to keep the family much in prayer!

To the Taylor Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of LeRoy. When I learned of his transition, I immediately began reflecting on the close-knit bond we all shared in our neighborhood. LeRoy was a constant presence—always looking out for us, from our childhood days through to our journey into adulthood.

He will truly be missed.

I still remember how Mrs. Taylor used to encourage us to stay involved in sports or other positive activities—to help guide us on the right path. That wisdom, and LeRoy's example, played a meaningful role in shaping who we are today.

LeRoy, you have gained your wings to glory. Keep on smiling from above. We will all be thinking of you and holding your family close in our hearts.

May God continue to bless and keep you all during this time of loss and remembrance.

With deepest sympathy, Rodney Rivers and Family

Rivers Family

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
