Leroy C. Brase, son of Vivian (Murray) and Melvin Brase was born on July 26, 1944 in Lamar, Colorado.
On August 15, 1964, Leroy was united in marriage to Judy Weimer Brase and to the union two sons, Jeff and Scott, were born.
Shortly after their marriage, Leroy and Judy moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, where Leroy completed his education at the Colorado State University. It was at this time that they moved to Crook, Colorado, where Leroy taught for a few years.
In 1972, the Brase family returned to southeastern Colorado and to the May Valley community to make their home to work on the family farm while working for First National Bank. He later went to work for Lamar Community College as the farm ranch management coordinator and instructor. Upon retirement from LCC he took a position as farm manager for Tri-State Generation and Transmission until his retirement from that position in 2019.
Leroy departed this life on April 23, 2022 at the Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the age of 77 with family by his side.
