Leroy Thomas Holder Jr., 68, of Marlow, Oklahoma, passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Oklahoma City. He was born July 10, 1957, in Houston, Texas, to Leroy and Dorothy (Spires) Holder.

Leroy spent his working years in road crew construction, a job that suited his strong work ethic and steady nature. Outside of work, he found joy cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, watching wrestling, and never turning down good Mexican food. He was a man who appreciated his routines, his interests, and the people around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Leroy is survived by his nieces, Rhonda Beesley, Betty Stowers, and Kadi Magee; and his nephew, Mike Hendrix. They will remember him with love and gratitude for the place he held in their lives.

Cremation arrangements are being handled by Whitt Funeral Home/Oakcrest Cremation Center.
