Leroy was the 2nd to the youngest out of 17 children born to Jacobo and Bersabe Abeyta. Leroy was preceded in death by his parents Jacobo and Bersabe Abeyta in addition to 14 siblings: Rupertita, Elias, Ricardo and Evangelina, Antonio, Rupertita, Lucia, Nieves, Angelina, Emma, Dolores, Jacobo, Estella and Juanita, Nephews: Manuel Garcia, Sinforosa Abeyta, Mark Abeyta, Gerald Ortega, Juan Abeyta, Gilbert Abeyta and son, Niece, Jeannie Manzanares, brother in law, Frank Martinez, Father and Mother in Law, Eugenio and Senaida Martinez. and most recently his great granddaughter, Aliyah Marquez.
Leroy is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Louisita Abeyta. They had 3 children: Oliver Abeyta (spouse: Isabel), Clarence Abeyta and Christine Abeyta. There are 11 grandchildren: Miranda Abeyta, Natasha Ayres, Flavio Vigil, Delilah Abeyta, Serena Marquez (spouse Michael), Julio Vigil, Nasaria Garcia, Leticia Vigil, Liana Vigil, Andres Abeyta and Leroy Abeyta, In addition to 5 great grandchildren: Sean Abeyta, Daniel Abeyta, Riley Marquez, Miguel Marquez and Estevan Marquez, surviving siblings Katy Garcia, and Raquel Johnson (Neil) and many other extended family members.
Leroy was a very genuine, humble and kind man with a great ear for listening and was always full of advice. He never sugar coated anything and always gave his honest opinion. He will always be known for his sense of humor and his many Dichos.
At a very young age, Leroy left his home in Ledoux, NM to become a sheep herder in Wyoming and fondly talked about living in a wagon in the middle of nowhere. He worked various jobs along the way and lived in Los Angeles, CA long enough to become vested in the Railroad. After many years, Leroy moved his family back to his home state of NM and 25 years later, retired from Luna Vocational technical Institute. Leroy was proud to say he was a Farmer and even a cowboy. He never lost sight of his direction whether he was in the mountain or in the City. He remained sharp as a tack until the very end.
Always a very hard worker from the beginning to the end, he never lacked words and while not a man to express his emotion, one always new how special and how loved you were. The world is definitely short one of the few Real men in this world who will never be forgotten and will forever be loved. Rest in Peace Daddy, Leroy, Mr. Leroy, Mr. Abeyta. There will never be enough words to say goodbye.
