Leroy "Leedee"

Jones

LeRoy Jones, affectionately known as LeeDee, peacefully transitioned May 3, 2025, at the age of 83, leaving behind a legacy marked by fearlessness, compassion, generosity and love that had an impactful influence on his family and friends.

Born April 16, 1942, in Franklin, Louisiana to the late Aaron and Dorothey Mae Jones. LeRoy set out on a journey that would lead him from a small town of his youth to heroism, truck driving across the world and being the best automotive repairman.

LeRoy's bravery was tested and proven after being inducted into the United States Army on January 15, 1962. Throughout his service, he established himself as a soldier of valor, courage and commitment earning a marksmanship badge(sharpshooter) and receiving his diploma for automotive repair.

After his honorable discharge, LeRoy returned to Beaumont, Texas. He began a career as a Big Rig Truck driver and automotive repairman, where he dedicated many years of service until his retirement. LeRoy was a private man, but his loyalty to his family and friends was unmatched. He was a proud member of Scott Olive Missionary Baptist Church for over 30+ years where he served on the Usher Board.

LeRoy was preceded in death by his parents Aaron and Dorothey Mae Jones, sisters Shirley Jones, Carolyn Jones, and Ruth Ann Jones, brothers Clarence Jones Sr., Harold Jones Sr., Aaron Jones Jr., and Joseph Jones. His love and memories will remain in the hearts of daughters Trequoi Richard (Danny) and Deidre Collins; son Kevin Baker (Debra); sisters Verlinda Antoine (Kevin), Betty Nobles and Mary Lee Nelson; nine grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, special family members and friends.

In memory of LeRoy "LeeDee" Jones, we celebrate a life well lived with fearlessness, compassion, generosity, and a deep love for his family and friends. His legacy will forever be cherished and remembered. We find comfort in knowing that he's now at peace resting in God's hands.
