Obituary

On November 6, 1985 Leroy Tollie Browning was

born to Elrader Browning Jr. and Hazel Browning

children.

Leroy was born in Pasadena, Ca where he attended

Field elementary until the age of eight years old.

Then the family left Pasadena and relocated to

Sacramento Ca to be closer to his mother’s side of

the family. And then moved to Palmdale, Ca to be

closer to his father’s side of the family.

After moving to Palmdale, Ca Leroy attended

Chaparral elementary, Cactus Middle School and

Palmdale High School. After high school Leroy met

and fell in love with Sky Holsey, they shared a bond

like no other. This love resulted in the birth of two

beautiful sons Chaney Sier Browning and Tyson

Jean Browning. Leroy also had a daughter Kiemora

Browning from a previous relationship. Leroy was

an amazing dad, he spent most of his time at home

raising his boys to create a bond and relationship

with his sons that he never had with his own

father.

Leroy was an amazing son and he loved his mother

and he would always help out whenever she

needed him.

Leroy was a wonderful brother, he looked out for

all of his siblings making sure they were well taken

care of and had what they needed. He had a special

bond with each of his siblings and gave them the

love, laughter and support they needed.

Leroy was a great uncle, he loved and supported all

of his nieces and nephews and had his own special

relationship with each of them.

Leroy was and outstanding friend he showed

everybody love with his kind words, big

personality, big heart, electric smile and charming

personality.

Leroy was the “Turn up King”, Turn down for what?

He loved to dance and have a good time, he was

the life of every party. He was the light in dark

places. Anybody who knew Leroy loved him. Leroy

you were so loved by so many people you will

never be forgotten.

Leroy also had siblings from his dad’s side but he

was closest to Jetaun and Lil Ray. Leroy also leaves

a host of cousins and friends to remember the

good times they shared together. Leroy will be

forever in our hearts.

Marinate on This

Leroy Tollie Browning

Let that name marinate

Cause how he left here

Was by the hands of hate

30 years on this earth

Left 3 children and a family hurt

The pain they feel only God can heal

Another senseless murder by the powers that be

But let me tell you this

They will live in misery

Their judgement day won’t be dismissed

Cause the devil never gets away

Punishment and hell they will pay

Family and Friends don’t be down

And don’t give in for every evil must come to an

end

Leroy Tollie Browning had a small frame

And many knew his name

But his end will never be forgotten

Cause he was loved by many

And his memory will not rotten

So look to the Sky

And See the beauty of his life

Hustling was in his blood

And so was helping his family

In which Leroy really loved

But wait a minute he loved God

And that wasn’t odd

He was raised to know by his mother

That God came first and No other

Cry its okay

release it all today

Because Leroy wouldn’t have it any other way

Leroy understood he didn’t come here to stay

So as we say our final good byes

Don’t worry he’s okay

He had to shake this place

He had something else to do

He’s at peace

No more worries

No more fear

No more pain

Wipe your faces and dry your tears

Love lifted him

Let it lift you By Grandar aka Darlene Devine

Words of Love For Leroy

Its crazy how you’re gone, they didn’t have to do

you like that. It’s not going to be the same without

you. But all I could do is think about all the good

times together. You were just with me at the

turkey tussle saying I’m hanging out with you.

Every time I asked you for something you would

make sure I got it. That’s why I love you and I’m

going to always make sure Kiekie, Chaney and

Tyson are straight because you made sure we were

straight. Love you Leroy

Always Journye and Family

Nephew you are my soldier 4sho you will always

always be my life line . Forever in my heart.

Mcfadden – Browning blood runs through your

veins. You are a blessing for me and Rodney.

Love auntie Reese Cutty in the house

My Cutty was one of da best did it. He fed a lot of

people and also helped a lot of people. If it wasn’t

fo him I don’t know where I would be or what I

would be doing. All I can think about is how we

came from lil niggas to grown men. It’s hard to see

you go dis way Cutty but we going to keep it lit fo

you and u always rocking wit me forever n a day.

Love you Cutty from HotBoi

To the love of my life:

We shared an incomparable bond that will never

be duplicated... from the moment I met you the

energy between us was so magnetic nothing in life

could keep us apart. My heart is so heavy, I never

thought I'd have to live without you. You are my

absolute best friend! You rescued me from the

world and gave me everything I never dreamt I

could have... You taught me and showed me how

to survive and finesse life! We talked about

everything and I'm glad we didn't leave anything

unsaid... I love you with every inch of my soul!! This

is definitely not goodbye! Just a thank you! For

giving me two little pieces of you that I get to

teach, love watch and hold...until I see you again!

Love your limit Sky

Buck I’m going to miss your out of the blue calls

that always seemed to be right on time. The first

thing you’d say “ Hey cousin what you got goin on, I

didn’t want nothing I was just checking on you and

of course he had to clown me on something and

make me laugh. The times I was down he always

knew exactly what to say to get me back in focus,

and then of course the convo ended with him

crackin’ on me one more time before we hung up

with a “love you cousin.” I always admired his

ambitious spirit and go getter mentality when he

put his mind to something in the midst of it all he

loved his family and always made sure everybody

was OK, he had a heart of gold. I miss you and will

always keep you in my heart and will remember

the pep talks you gave me! Sleep with Angels

cousin

Love Tameko

Yesterday I had to face my biggest fear. I have to

learn to live without you. It’s like trying to live with

only half of my heart. I told you how much I loved

you and there was nothing that I wouldn’t do for

you. You’re my twin, my little big brother and I will

always be Leroy’s sister. We love you Bro

Love Always Angel and family

To the world’s greatest man to every live, my uncle

Leroy Tollie Browning

I remember as if it was just yesterday when I saw

you we were turnt up, dancing, laughing, smiling

and loving one another that was the most amazing

feeling Ii could ever feel and will never forget.

Leroy was not only my uncle and a father to

Chaney and Tyson but he was a father to me and

my brother Deon as well. He raised me since I was

a baby. Uncle you were my best friend, I could

come talk to you about anything and didn’t have to

worry about being judged or feeling any kind of

way because you know how to communicate with

me and anyone. You taught success, survival, how

to hustle, to respect myself as a young lady and to

become someone and not a ratchet. You guided

me in the right direction if no one else did. You

were a King who loved his family and just didn’t

want to see them struggle. It hurts deeply in our

hearts to know that you’re gone but I’m blessed

every day to know that God has called you home

and made me strive harder for success each and

every day.

Love Mymy

Damn Lil Bro! At this point and these days!! I know

it’s not the end of your life but just the absence of

your presence. It doesn’t surprise me your love we

shared in these final days! It’s as if you were

around all of your loved ones and family! It

ponders me because for some odd reason or

another you looked up to me. And I appreciate that

but Lil Bro you’re the real hero! You’re the real big

Bro, you’re the real legend. The real wild child, the

family torpedo. Now our talks will be clearer and

walks will be longer and our love a lot stronger.

Look how the tables turn now we all looking up to

you Lil Bro. You’re a legend, my Lil Bro. I love you

forever!!! Long live Leroy The Great!

Love Eddie Bo

Gone too soon, I’ve lost another piece of my heart

but I know it’s waiting for me in heaven, we

enjoyed him so much while he was here, he made

sure big sis and my kids got our one on one quality

time together and I’m so grateful of that, he will

forever be in our hearts, continuing to watch over

us from afar but in a better place. I love you Lil Bro

forever.

Love Tuan and family

I Love you Lil Bro you will forever be in my heart

Love Shana

Bucket I’m going to miss you

Ebony and family

Leroy you are the light of my life.

Love Mom
