He and Linda had three children, Kathryn Maire, Denise Diane, and Jerald Alan. They resided much of their life in Pasadena, Texas, where both Lebert and Linda worked for the school district. Lebert held various positions in the district, but retired from San Jacinto Intermediate where he was much loved by many. Lebert had a love of God all his life.
