LaJoy was born February 26, 1946, at Burneyville to Leona and Jilee Gaines. He left this life Sunday, February 28, 2016, in the Promise Hospital of Wichita Falls, Texas.

LaJoy accepted Jesus Christ at an early age. His early education was in Burneyville Elementary and Dunbar Elementary. He then attended Hobart Junior High and Hobart High School where he excelled in multiple sports. After graduation LaJoy attended Langston University.
