Obituary For Leroy Grant

Mr. Leroy Grant was the eldest son of the late Robertand Louise Ella Grant. He was born on February 3, 1924, in Huger, South Carolina, and was affectionately known as “Boy” and “Patchy.” Leroy entered into eternal rest on March 18, 2025, at the Palmetto Assisted Living Facility in West Ashley at the remarkable age of 101.

Leroy received his early education in Charleston, SC. He was a proud U.S. Army veteran who courageously served his country during World War II. He selflessly sent his military pay home to his grandmother, Elizabeth “Mama Lou” Comedy, to support his younger brother, Melvin, and other family members during difficult times.

After his military service, Leroy eventually migrated north to New York City, where he was blessed with three daughters—Yvonne, Athena, and Margaret—the loves of his life. You never saw a man who loved his children with such great respect and devotion. His love for them was unwavering, ensuring they remained connected throughout the years, no matter the distance.

Mr. Grant leaves behind a legacy of love that will be forever treasured by:

  • His beloved wife: Queenie Grant (South Carolina)
  • His daughters: Yvonne and Cheryl (Margaret)
  • His sisters: Mrs. Diane Henry and Rena Mae Calvin
  • His sister-in-law: Beverly Grant (North Charleston, SC)
  • His grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren
  • His loving family:
    • A host of sons-in-law and daughters-in-law
    • A host of nieces and nephews
    • A host of great-nieces and great-nephews
    • Granddaughter-in-laws and grandson-in-laws
    • Cousins and dear friends

    💙 Daddy, you're always on my mind. Not a day passes that I don't think about your voice, your laugh, your strength, and the way you loved so completely. 🕊️ Your heart was pure, and your love still covers me in ways I can't explain. There's a space in my heart that aches, but I find peace knowing you're still with me—guiding me, covering me, and whispering wisdom into my spirit when I need it most. ✨ You are more than a memory—you are my angel now. 👼🏾 To those who didn't do right by you... may Jehovah reveal truth and bring justice in His time. 🙏🏾 I know your body is gone, but your spirit lives on. Every day, I send you a virtual hug—along with my love to my sister, nephew, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and dear friends who've gone on. 🤗 I miss hearing you say, "I love you, baby girl." But your love lives in me forever. I'll carry your lessons, your words, and your light for the rest of my life. 💬❤️ Forever your daughter, Margaret 🕯️💐

    Wow! Sounds like you all had a GREAT dad!!! (something I never had). Something in his core/ inner being was so true. It was amazing to read about him here. Thank you for sharing him with the whole world in that way.

    💙 Happy Heavenly Father's Day, Daddy 💙 Daddy, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Your voice, your laugh, your strength, your unwavering love—it still lives with me and carries me through the hardest days. 🕊️ You were the only man in my life who never lied to me, never judged me, and always made me feel like I mattered. You gave with your whole heart 💝, and the way you loved us still humbles me to this day. There's an ache in my heart 💔 because I miss you deeply, but there's also peace ✨ because I know you're watching over me. You're still guiding me, still covering me, still whispering wisdom to my spirit when I need it most. You are, and always will be, my angel 👼🏾. I wish I could hug you today 🤗. I wish I could hear you say, "I love you, baby girl," just one more time. But I'll carry your words, your lessons, and your love with me for the rest of my life. 💬❤️ Happy Heavenly Father's Day, Daddy. I love you forever. Your daughter, Margaret 🕯️💐

    The absence of a father figure can leave an indelible void, with feelings of sadness, longing, and even guilt for things left unsaid and undone. Memories, both cherished and painful, flood our minds, reminding us of the moments shared and the ones that will never be. This is a sad day... You will never be forgotten... Memories of you will live on through your children and grandchildren... You were blessed to live to be 101 years old... Now it's time; for you to rest...

    The Song says," One glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away!" Heartfelt condolences is extended at this time to the family of the Late Leroy Grant. Look how far he has come with the Lord. 101 years that the Lord has blessed him. I thank the Lord for the many years Bro. Grant has influenced me with his life living. He was truly a favorite amongst the brothers of the church during my era. He was my photographer at my wedding and made it a point to have all my wedding photos and book to me the next day after my wedding, which was AMAZING! I adopted him and sis. Queenie as my church grandparents and it was always a pleasure to see them each Lords day at Jacksonville road and Azalea Drive. I will miss him here on earth, but will live to see him again in the sweet by and by. Cassandra Gaines-Shine & Family Mt. Pleasant SC

    # **A Tribute to My Beloved Father** 🕊️❤️ My 101-year-old dad was a man I loved unconditionally. No matter where we lived, we stayed connected—him visiting us, us visiting him and Mom Queenie. 📞 No matter where his feet landed, you better believe I was there. And if I wasn't physically present, I found a way to connect through God's guidance. He always made sure I had a voice, and through the kindness of those around him, they became my voice to him. Every facility he stayed in knew, without a doubt, that I was going to call. I was on those lines. My dad was my heart ❤️, my foundation 🏡, and my source of unwavering love. I could never speak about my dad without mentioning my mom, Queenie—they were a total package. I am still here for her, and I always will be. She is my bonus mom. ❤️ Through my dad, I now understand why I love so deeply, why I am so passionate about those I care for, why I demand respect, and why giving is second nature to me. It was instilled in me from birth, passed down through my father's selfless nature. You could never find a more selfless person. 💔 I always knew, without a doubt, that my father loved me beyond words. He made sure my sisters and I knew how much we were cherished. He ensured that our family respected and loved us, treating us like little princesses. 👑 Whenever we visited the South, we were taken everywhere with love and joy. My father's love was immense, and though he has now crossed over at 101 years old, I know his anointing still flows—not just upon me, but upon my sister, our children, their children, and the generations to come. 🕊️ Oh, how my heart aches 💔 to say goodbye. But I won't. Instead, I'll say *see you later, Daddy*. You served well, and God's hand upon your life continues to wave over ours. I am so grateful I got to see you, to rub your head one last time, to pray for you, for Mom Queenie, and for our family. I called Cousin Laverne and told her you were in your last stages. She rushed over to you and Mom Queenie, placing the phone near you, allowing me to pray and cry as I whispered my final see you later. I love you, Daddy—you served well. Thank you, Cousin Laverne, for that. ❤️ Our spirits will remain forever connected, because I believe that while the shell may be removed, the bond remains. No one can take that from us—no force, no time, no distance. We are who we are and will be forevermore. 🕊️❤️ And to those who tried, and still try, to invade or misdirect the love between a father and his daughter—those who sought to sow division where there was only love—I can only pray for you. 🙏 May you too find love for yourselves, a love that is pure and honorable, one that does not seek to take from others but to build within. May you come to know the beauty of an unshakable bond, and may you learn to live with honor, kindness, and truth. 💛 – *"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."* ❤️ - ** – *"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven... A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn 🕊️ 💔 🕊️ Daddy, I know you are still with me. Until we meet again, your love and legacy will continue to shine through us all. ❤️🕊️ 💖

    To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Yes, soon there will come a time when all suffering including death will be done away with forever. For more encouraging information from the bible.
