Obituary sent by son
Leroy Keese passed away on January 11, 2018 after fighting a courageous battle with Merkel Cell Carcinoma. He was born on August 16, 1939 in Medina, Texas, to Lewis Leonard Keese and Eva Jean (Mayfield) Keese. He graduated from Texas A&M University, Class of 1961, with a degree in Animal Science, and moved to Brady in 1965.
Leroy met his wife, Jo, in Medina, and they were married 56 years. He was a loving father to his children, son Darrell and his wife Teresa, and daughter Nancy. He was blessed with 2 grandchildren, Devin and Kamry. He is also survived by his brother, Earl Keese and wife Nancy of Hilton Head, South Carolina.
He was a wool buyer for the Forte, Dupee, Sawyer Company of Boston, Massachusetts for 38 years. He co-shared the first American Sheep Industry Wool Excellence Award in 2007 for his contributions to the American wool Industry.
Leroy loved being on his tractor and skid loader working at “the place”, ranching, caring for his beloved cattle, golfing, fishing, and hunting quail across West Texas. He was an active member of the First United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Men of Brady. He was a friend to all within the McCulloch County community, West Texas and beyond.
A memorial service honoring Leroy’s life will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Brady on Saturday, January 20 at 2 p.m., with visitation prior in the Fellowship Hall at 1 p.m. Honorary pallbearers are members of the United Methodist Men, The Breakfast Group, and his golfing friends. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to your charity of choice.
The world is a better place for Leroy being here. He lives on through his children, grandchildren, and kind deeds.
