Leroy G. Wilke

Leroy G. Wilke, a beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas, the same city he was born and raised in. He was born on November 17, 1938, to Jack and Dessie Mae Wilke.

In his younger years, Leroy proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard, carrying with him the values of dedication, strength, and service throughout his life. After discharge from the Coast Guard, Leroy served as a Corpus Christi firefighter.

Later, Leroy made his living as a truck driver, a profession that took him down many roads. Outside of work, Leroy loved frequenting the coast.

Leroy was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Jack and sister, Betty. Leroy leaves behind his four children; sons, Steve (Michelle), Mark, and daughters Jennifer (Jay), and Jessica along with 10 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Though he is no longer with us, Leroy will be missed and lovingly remembered. May he rest in peace.
