Remember that "Mighty Mouse" tatoo....Proud, always putting a smile on all of us with that energy that made him unique. I will always remember his pride, that unmatched kindness and that big smile of his ...may he rest in peace and know that he is not forgotten.

I will always remember and cherish my friendship wit my brother Leroy Harris Wed, 28 May 2014 01:13:15 -0700 Yvette Medrano on May 27, 2014 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/leroy-harris-kelly/#c159979 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/leroy-harris-kelly/#c159979 Leroy, all i can say is you were an amazingly genuine, funny, friendly and outgoing guy. Never a dull moment in classes at Azusa High School. We thank you for your service and sacrifice, you and your family, may our Lord bless your family .

He was always so funny and genuine, and my brother Conan and I used to have so much fun playing with him when we were kids. I will never forget the pain of losing Leroy, nor will I forget the joy of knowing him. He is buried at the top of a hill overlooking the gorgeous valley, just steps away from Conan's grave. I often bring him flowers, and sit and remember the years we all had together. You are sorely missed, Leroy!

He was a character! He always had a way of making everyone laugh wherever he went with his Michael Jackson impressions or just being himself; outgoing and fun. We use to raz each other a bit all in good fun at band events. I still have the necklace he used to wear to school everyday, he had no intention of giving it to me but he wouldn't take it back either :) I think i'll keep it forever. Someone earlier mentioned Leroy's ethnicity... I'll touch on that... Leroy bridged the gap for us at our school when the black and hispanic wars were going on strongly. He separated fights, stood up for what he believed in and encouraged peace. I think it also helped that he knew spanish, was on the basketball team and was considered a "band nerd" Everyone knew Leroy, loved Leroy and respected Leroy so the division soon became unity. He was the type of man that all men should strive to be. Missing him still.

I met him Kuwait on a special detail. He reminded me so much of myself when I first entered the military. I am in film school now and I want to make a movie about my lil partner. If any of his family or friends read this please contact me. 310-343-1163 Frank Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:06:53 -0800 Adrian on January 7, 2011 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/leroy-harris-kelly/#c44133 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/leroy-harris-kelly/#c44133 Yes i loved god please forgive me Fri, 07 Jan 2011 03:23:26 -0800
