OBITUARY
Louis "Lou" Lebron
July 4, 1950 – January 19, 2021
It is the deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, brother and son, our Hero, Louis “Lou” or “Louie” Lebron on January 19th 2021 in Sarasota, Florida after a long battle of COVID19. Lou left this world in peace surrounded by his wife Rose, two sons, Michael and Marc, Daughter-in law Maura and in the thoughts and prayers of Daughter-in law Lenore.
Lou was born on July 4th 1950 in Manhattan N.Y. to Aurea and Louis Lebron second to Sister Ida Lebron. Later in childhood Lou became step-son of Ida Lebron and brother of Andrea Lebron of Bronx N.Y., where he was raised. Lou graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School of NY and attended Bronx Community College.
Lou was a serial hobbyist. Early in his years Lou was an avid racer frequenting National Speedway racing his 1969 Z28. He played the drums in a band with band members who have remained dear lifelong friends. Lou was also an avid Ham Radio operator achieving a General class FCC license. His hobbies didn’t end there as later in life he took a passion to all things computing starting his own company Group 3 Micro Systems with another lifelong friend.
Lou’s proudest moment and lifelong aspiration was when he graduated from the NYPD Police Academy in December of 1981. He spent the majority of his career crime fighting as a NYPD Police Officer on the streets of Jamaica NY. Lou received numerous awards and medals with a few notable achievements in the public eye for his brave efforts. Later in his NYPD career he patrolled the Highways of The Bronx in Highway Patrol 2 from where ended his 20 year tenure.
Lou retired to Venice, Florida in 2001 where he built his dream home and made a new life with his love Rose. During 9/11 he returned to public service being deputized and volunteering as a Deputy Sheriff in Manatee County. Throughout his later years Lou volunteered with the American Red Cross and Charlotte Counties Sheriff’s department as a parking enforcement officer. He was also actively involved as a board member of the Manasota 1013 Association, a club for retired NYPD.
Lou is survived by his childhood love and wife Rose of 49 years. Lou and Rose met when they were young children, dated as teenagers and married on November 5th 1972; truly a lifelong love affair. Lou and Rose have two children, Michael and Marc, grandchildren, Cavan and Samantha, and loving Daughter-in-law’s Maura and Lenore. Aside by from being survived by his wife, kids and grandkids, Lou also leaves behind his Sister Ida Lebron, brother Andre Lebron and Step-Mother Ida Lebron. Lou has many other surviving relatives and friends who loved and cared for him deeply.
Lou was a servant to the public, to his family and his friends and will always be known as our hero. He is at peace and can now rest watching over his loved ones for eternity. – E.O.T.

We were saddened and shocked to hear of Lou's recent passing. In the eight years I knew him, Lou was one of the most likeable people I had ever met. He always seemed to be in a good mood, and I always looked forward to seeing him at "10-13" meetings, as well as at various brunch or dinner gatherings, along with his wife Rose. He is remembered fondly by all members of Florida's Manasota 10-13 Club, and his absence as our Health and Welfare Officer cannot be understated; someone will eventually take your job, Lou, but no one will ever take your PLACE....
Rest in Peace, old friend,
Joe and Connie Timmons

I’m so very sorry to learn of the passing of Louie. I worked with Louie at the 113pct back in the 80’s and always enjoyed his company. I remember the plate on his black vehicle; “Not 10-16”
I also remember riding with Louie on a few occasions and he truly was a “Cops Cop” Always at the ready, always able to count on him when and if you needed backup. Those truly were the days, memories that we tightly hang on to.
My deepest sympathy to you Rose, your sons and their families. May God Bless each of you during this difficult time.
With Love,

I have known Louie since our elementary school days at PS28 in the Bronx in 1960 when he was 10 years old. We grew up together and shared many common life experiences including our band, music, drag racing, radio and our love of family. Although we didn’t stay in touch as often lately, I always loved him and the entire Lebron family. Louie will be missed forever.

Lou was a classmate of mine at the Police Academy, Company 81-36. He was a terrific shooter and wore his uniform with pride. A real gentleman. May he Rest In Peace.
