Leroy Padgett Obituary

Our condolences for the family of Mr. Padgett. It was a pleasure the couple of time we meet. My husband and I enjoyed the moments talking about cars and the military. May you Rest In Peace. From the López Family.

Uncle Lee, I will always fondly remember our visit to Colorado and going to the mountain cabin with you, Nelson and my dad six years ago. My best memory, was these three brother´s, all in their 80´s, trying to pull a bumper off a truck with a chain. It was quite hilarious to watch! Thank you for buying us lunch that day! Rest in peace sweet uncle. You will be missed!
Love, Shannon

Loved Leroy more like a brother to me than a brother-in-law. I loved him very much as all my family did. My heart goes out to my sister Faye and the family.

Daryl and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family. I loved Uncle Leroy and remember when he pierced my ears! We have fond memories of Uncle Leroy, he will be missed.

I remember uncle Leroy showing me his antique car he was working on and eventually the finished product! He was a kind man a giant that tread lightly. I never heard a harsh word from him. When we belonged to the Colorado springs racket club, he always greeted us with a smile and a good word when he worked at their front desk. My wife remembers his kindness to her and of course his mustang convertible. We love you Uncle Leroy. We believe in the hope of everlasting life and will see you again someday.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I can´t tell you how much I love you and wish I could be with your family today.
Rest in peace my precious brother.

So sorry for your loss, I got to know Lee after moving to the Satellite in 2014. It was always a bright spot in my day when I would meet him in the lobby or by the elevator, he always had a hug and a kind word.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers to the family.
