LeRoy is survived by his wife Margie Garcia, his children Johnathan, Jessica, Corey, Carmelita Garcia, Megan Wilkinson, and his three grandchildren. LeRoy proudly served in the Navy for 20 years, and then retired as lieutenant commander and then continued to work with the government and veterans in the years that followed. LeRoy was a hardworking and dedicated man, who loved and supported his family with his whole heart. He loved to travel and meet new people any chance he got. He brought joy, love, laughter and a good time everywhere he went. He loved telling dad jokes, doing charity, jeeps and New Mexico green chile. To say he will be missed is an understatement.
