My grandfather, Claudius Ray Sweat, was Jen’s brother. My dad Clint Sweat was Leroy’s first cousin. Our families have always kept in touch over the years. Today I called Leroy’s cell phone to wish him and Betty a Merry Christmas. The message said the phone was disconnected. Concerned, I checked the internet and saw his obituary. I was deeply saddened finding that he had passed on. Please give Betty my love and sincere condolences and to the family my deepest sympathy. I’ll never forget Leroy Sweat, the warmth of his home, his love for his wife and family and his amazing faith and testimony. May God Bless you all and strengthen you at this difficult time. 


Well Chief, I'm pretty sure you dont want any sad stuff here. So I'll just say you welcomed me into your home and family as if I was a member. As a young kid from New York, recently moved to AZ, that meant so much. We made each other laugh over the silliest stuff, sometimes stuff others didnt understand. And that was the best part. And you always made me feel welcomed, even at meal time when it was every man for himself. Go easy on 'em up there....

Leroy was a great person!
He taught me a lot at a young age, about the power of saving money. I remember those conversations in detail to this very day.
I also know how important he was to the entire Sweat extended family... Leroy will be missed by all those who had the privilege to cross his path.

Betty & Leroy Sweat were the loving couple I know,  They stayed together & raised a family, Honored all oblations together & proud of what they did together.  

Uncle Leroy is the brother my father Garry Hightower never had growing up,  but they sure made up for that once they were reunited.  Being Garry's daughter, meant that I, Taffeta Hunter, my husband Todd, my sons Logan and Lawson, got to be apart of the Sweat family events.  Our family was welcomed with open arms from Leroy and his entire family.  Our family to this day still talks about the good times we shared at those family reunions.  I'm forever grateful that God allowed us to be apart of his life even for just a small amount of time.  That time will last forever!   Amen!

Love, 

Taffeta Marliene (Hightower) Hunter
