Leroy A Pavlicek, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, departed from this world on December 13, 2025, at Memorial Hermann Sugarland. Born on August 22, 1952, in the nurturing town of East Bernard, TX, Leroy was a remarkable individual whose zest for life and warmth brought joy to all who knew him.
Leroy was a man with a vibrant spirit, always eager to socialize with friends and family. His laughter and lively personality made every gathering a cherished memory. He found happiness in the simplest of pleasures, such as fishing with friends, sharing a delightful barbecue, and enjoying the lively tunes of polka music. His love for Westerns and listening to KULP were just a few of the pastimes that reflected his joyous approach to life.
He leaves behind a loving family, including his sister Shirley Karasek and her husband Wilburn of East Bernard, sister Margie Meeks and her husband Danny of Richmond, TX, and brother Anton Pavlicek Jr. and his wife Pam of Brenham, TX. Their hearts are forever filled with the memories of Leroy’s kind, jovial spirit.
Leroy’s journey through life was intended to be a festive parade of joy, punctuated by the laughter shared with those dear to him. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Anton and Christine Pavlicek, and nephew, William Karasek who laid the foundation of love and support that Leroy embraced throughout his years.
A gathering of friends and family to celebrate Leroy’s life will take place at Holy Cross Catholic Church in East Bernard, TX. The visitation is scheduled to commence on December 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM, followed by a Prayer Service at 9:30 AM. The Funeral Service will be held shortly after at 10:00 AM, concluding with a Graveside Service at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery at 11:00 AM.
As we remember Leroy, let us honor the joy he shared with us and the love he spread. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and his legacy of kindness and camaraderie will continue to inspire us all.
Arrangements are under the direction of Wharton Funeral Home of Wharton. Condolences for the family can be left at whatonfuneralhome.com
