Beloved husband of Nora Lopez, Father of Martin (Gerry), Mark, Vickie, Tina (Gerald), and Connie (Henry), Brother to Loretta, Loving Grandfather of David (Jennifer), Sherry, Brian, Max, Natalia (Amber), Abran (Angelia), Adriane (Lenore), Aaron, Alex, Michelle (Chad), Dominic (Julia), Nicole, Leroy, and Mark, Jr. Also loved by 23 great grandchildren and his cousins Richard (Dick) Bustos, Jr., Ermenia Maldonado, and many family and dear friends.
LeRoy was preceded in death by his parents, Nabor and Millie, grandson, Esteven and great grandson, David, Jr.
LeRoy served honorably in the United States Navy and was a World War II Veteran. He was always a strong hard working man and a wonderful provider for his family. He loved to spend time camping, fishing, and hunting with Nora, his children, and his grandchildren in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado. One of his greatest joys was living in the mountains of Westcliffe with Nora by his side and going to Cripple Creek for a little fun!
LeRoy’s favorite charity should you wish to contribute was St. Joseph’s Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota 57326 (www.stjo.org).
