LeRoy Henderson Obituary

LeRoy passed away peacefully in his home on November 24, 2013. He was 58.

LeRoy was born in Charleston, WV, to James and Luella Henderson on June 10, 1955.

He graduated High School in 1973 from East Bank, WV.

He joined his family here in Colorado Springs, CO, shortly after graduation where he became a successful businessman. Partnering up with his mother and brother, Dwane, he became part owner/operator of "Sunview Mobile Home and R.V. Park" where he has spent the last 30 years.

LeRoy enjoyed many things in his life. His favorites were Classic Muscle Cars and he was proud to show off the ones he owned.

He has come home. Although he was a longtime resident of Colorado, his heart always remained in West Virginia. His ashes will scattered near Holly Grove.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Roy and Alma Hudnell; his father, James Henderson; and longtime best friend, Ronnie Erickson.

He is survived by his mother, Luella Holton; 2 brothers, James and Dwane Henderson; his sister, Darling Henderson; and a host of relatives and friends that will miss him dearly.

Our loss is too great to bare. Services will be held at a later date.
