Big Lee’s LSU Memorabilia, Trucks and Casket go up for Sale

The most noticeable house on the 600 block of Bonnabel Boulevard in Metairie, Louisiana, is under contract, but not by such an avid LSU fan as the previous owner, Leeroyal “Big Lee” Martin. Martin was killed earlier in the year after the culmination of a decade long feud with his neighbor ended with Martin being gunned down in his own front yard. Martin had been known for his flashy mannerisms and love for LSU and their memorabilia.

The Occasional Wife, an organizational and management company, is overseeing the sale of Martin’s collectables as well as his LSU-decorated pick-up trucks, furniture and other items, according to the house’s broker, Matthew Grass. The home was originally listed for $349,000 and included all of Martin’s property inside the residence. His vast collection of purple and gold memorabilia will be available for purchase as part of an estate sale that begins Friday (Aug. 24)
