Uncle Coyce you most definitely have and always will be my favorite uncle. I loved our phone calls and talks about any and everything. You will always remain in my heart
Carolyn and Coyce Leon may God watch over and give comfort.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers to the family
You will be missed Uncle Coyce–love and prayers to Carolyn and Coyce Leon.
A really good man. Honest and hard working.
Loved to talk sports, particularly football.
Coyce is one of my favorite ‘uncles’, another gift in my family heritage to treasure . I enjoyed our too few talks, which wandered the wide spectrum of politics, military, technology, family, faith, and literacy…basically saving the world each time. I, as many, will sorely miss him.
Miss Carolyn, I pray you and yours all God’s sure Grace, peace, comfort, and watch care.
One of my favorite classmates. A kind and sweet man. He will be missed. Love and prayers for Carolyn and family.
