Roy T Lenning

Roy Terry Lenning was born April 18, 1956 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to parents Sherman Roy and Lela Mae (Embree) Lenning. Roy passed away October 28, 2018 In Richardson, Texas.

Roy was a very quiet, humble man who loved the Lord first in all things. He was a hardworking, very professional individual that always held a business-related career. More recently, before he retired, he was a Senior Product Consultant for a travel consultant company in Dallas, TX. Prior to this he was a Business Operations Manager for 10 years for a software company in Plano, TX. Roy’s most enjoyable work was with a company called KLM Airlines where he was an Account Services Representative and made some lifelong friends and had the opportunity to do some traveling. Roy has lived and worked in the Dallas area since the 1980s after receiving his bachelor’s degree at University of Texas in 1979. Roy was very smart and was truly successful wherever he worked and was able to retire early in the last couple of years.

Although Roy’s work was very important to him, he was very close with his family, especially his mom. Roy also had a very close companion, his puppy, Gracie Mae. Roy loved his church family at Hunter’s Glen Baptist Church. He volunteered in the community and was involved with the Meals on Wheels program. Roy was truly a gentle, loving, selfless man that would sacrifice any need or want he had to serve and love others, and to please the Lord.

Roy is survived by his brother Gary Lenning and his wife Mary, nieces and nephews; Terri Metzger and her husband Kirby, Karen Tucker, Lisa Harmon and Timothy Lenning. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister; Cheri Harmon.
