Leroy Short passed away on Thursday, January 8, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of strength, integrity, and unwavering devotion to his family.

Leroy was a hard-working family man who dedicated his life to providing for those he loved. He proudly served in the United States Army, a reflection of his deep sense of duty, honor, and commitment to country. Those same values carried through every part of his life.

He was married for 60 years to his beloved wife, Edith Short, who preceded him in death last year. Their marriage was built on love, loyalty, and partnership, and remains a testament to a life shared and a family deeply rooted in devotion.

Leroy was a devoted father to his children: Sam, Hellen, Sarah, and Lawrence. He was also a proud and loving grandfather to Heidi, Sam, Lawrence, Victoria, and Brandon, and a cherished great-grandfather. His family meant everything to him, and he worked tirelessly to ensure their well-being, stability, and future.

A man of strong principles, Leroy was deeply respected and never afraid to stand up for what he believed in. He led by example—through hard work, honesty, and quiet strength—and those lessons will live on through the generations he helped shape.

Leroy Short will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever honored by all who knew and loved him.
