I only met him once but he was a good man:

Wow!  Was not expecting that today.  I am sorry for your loss.  Never met him in person, but liked his posts.  Seemed like an OG egghead, super nice and always willing to share.

LARGER THAN LIFE. 
Leroy would do anything for you. He helped so many (including me). 

He made sure i didn’t screw up the Salado Egg Fests for several years. 

I love you man.

Awful news! So sorry to hear. Prayers to his family and friends.

Before I even read the above, I saw the photo and told myself that this was a man who embraced life. 

Edit: I wish I was that much fun.

Thank you for letting us know.  Very sorry to learn of this.  He will be missed for sure.

Oh no!  I liked his stories and videos he made.  Didn't he retire from the forum when he moved?

Condolences to all impacted.  F**k cancer.

Sad news. RIP Leroy. Always enjoyed his signature line with the parentheses. @Ike I see what you did there, nice tribute.

Mickey

Chicken was an outstanding producer. 

One of many.

Heartbreaking news, but also happy that he's free from suffering. 

Knowing Leroy, he's probably somewhere throwing down good eats on a mini, and welcoming others at the Big Eggfest in the Sky.

Egg on, Spring Chicken.

I remember from Leroy's old posts when they would go on vacation and leave the "girls" at the chicken coop to hold down the fort, always looked forward to the post vacation reports. Missed his posts after he and Judy moved some years ago. Truly one on the "Cool Dudes" on the old forum and this one. Like Ron said a very sad day.

Angela

I haven’t been here in years but I remember him well. I’m sorry to hear this.

For a chicken, he was a "hoot" to be around at eggfests.  He will be missed.  My prayers for Judy and family.

Thanks Ron. Always looked forward to his cooks and write ups. I always thought he assumed the name Spring Chicken because he lived in Spring, TX before moving to LA.

I like how you get a great sense of his personality from that obituary.  You can tell he really lived life to the fullest.

That’s the best obituary I’ve ever read. RIP Spring Chicken

MaskedMarvel

I’m very sorry to read of Spring Chicken’s passing. 

He was always kind and supportive to a new egger like me - with a personality that set the stage for all of us to loosen up and not take each others’ differences so seriously…
