Le Roy graduated from the Air Force Academy class of 1987, 31st Squadron. LeRoy served his country as a captain in the Air Force, flying the C-141 Starlifter, and was a Veteran of Desert Storm.

LeRoy married Melodie Thorpe on May 24, 1998 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. From that union, their daughter Laurel Nicole was born October 25, 2000.

LeRoy was known for his kind, caring disposition. He was the type of person that truly listened when you spoke. He was an exceptional individual with a wonderful sense of humor.
