Leron accepted Christ at an early age and joined Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church where he served as Usher. He also joined the Eastern Star with the guidance of his grandmother, the late Earnestine Stanley. He continuously served the church throughout his life providing food, lawn equipment and any other materials the church needed. He was a faithful member and attended regularly despite being paralyzed. He invited many pastors to his home.
Leron was formerly married to Willie Jean Daniels. He loved his children and helped rear Emery Riley, Meko Riley, Madison and Megan Jackson. Also Kennedy Jackson, who was a devoted caregiver to Leron.
Leron was a very outspoken person who built an empire from his bed. His legacy was built on hard work, which actually caused his accident as a logger. He loved cars, of which he owned over 30! He also owned over 150 hats, clothes and many suits from his favorite store β" Super Bad. He also had many animals (dogs, chickens, hogs, goats and horses). During his early years, Leron loved to fish, hunt and play basketball. After his accident, he loved to travel. He traveled all over the United States. He also loved a good cookout and crawfish boil. He joined the United States Army in 1980 and served his country for three years.
