With funeral arrangements set and visitation of their husband, friend and father set for this afternoon, the family members of Ken Leefe are still searching for answers to why he is dead.
Leefe was the manager at the Bojangles in La Grange. He was found shot in his car last Thursday night, one day before his birthday. Detectives at the Lenoir Sheriff's Office have no motive or suspect in custody and like Leefe's family and co-workers, they can't understand why anyone would want him dead.
Leefe, described by many as the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back, was remembered by his daughter, Brandi Bittle as a man without a mean bone in his body. She told WCTI 12 how she felt hen her mother told her of her father's death.
"She's like Brandi it's true, your father was killed last night and I lost it," Brandi told WCTI with tears in her eyes.
"I just want to know why, because I just don't understand," said Brandi.
Leefe's high school sweetheart, his wife Penny said Leefe would do anything for anybody. "That's just the way he was," said Penny, who spoke with Leefe just a few hours before he was killed. When they talked about Leefe changing a spare tire on her car, they were laughing and joking and he said he would see her later that night. He never made it home.
Brandi spoke with her dad by phone Thursday and almost wished him a happy early birthday.
"Something in my head was like 'don't do it you are going to call him tomorrow'. I never got to tell him happy birthday," said Brandi, who says he has since wished her dad a happy birthday in her prayers and she will cherish the day he gave her away at her wedding.
Visitation for Ken Leefe will be held tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the Howard Carter Funeral Home in Kinston.
If you have any information that may help lead investigators to the killer or killers of Ken Leefe, please contact the Sheriff's Department in Lagrange.
