Elder LeRoy Thomas Hie, 55, departed this life on October 25th 2022. He was born in Providence, RI on October 14th 1967 to Dianne Hie-Levy and the late Leroy Spiver Sr. He was raised by his mother and stepfather, the late Riccardo Levy.
Elder Lee grew up in Providence, RI alongside his siblings, Darnell and Keiojfa.
He worked for Phillips Plumbing and Mechanical where he obtained his Journeymen Pipefitter License and was one and a half years shy of obtaining his Master Pipefitter License.
He had a love for serving the Lord and the children of God, old school cars, his San Francisco 49ers, playing Chess, and hanging with family. He could be seen fishing with his children and grandchildren, hanging with family, going for a ride in his old school, or playing chess with his "brothers from another mother". He had a heart for everyone and was a confidant for many, a shoulder for most and was there for whoever needed him. He will be remembered for his booming loud voice, his jokes that made you cry, his caring heart, his love for teaching the word of God, and his love for everyone.
Preceded in death by his brother Leroy Spiver, Jr. and daughter Nakia Hie, Elder Lee leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Norma Hie of RI; his mother, Diane Hie-Levy of RI; his siblings of RI, Darnell Hie, Keiojfa Hie, and Ricardo Rodriguez; his siblings of Maryland, Brenda Spiver, Debra Mull, Cheryl Smith, Joseph Snowden, Steven Snowden, Karen Forrester, and Yvette Hastey; his children and children in law of RI, Carissa Roderick (Michael Sr.), Michael Hie (Deon), Jamel Hie (Leandra), LaDasia Hie, Jamie Bailey, Tyrin Johnson, Nia Johnson, Anika Young, and Akilah Young; his grandchildren, Elijah Hie, Michael-Imani Hie, Michael Roderick Jr., Riley Baez, Melody Roderick, and Saige Lee Baez; his God children, Dyshonn Simms, Tykila Robinson and Dazzmin Judd.
