Leon was a devoted father, a loving son, sibling, partner and  beloved friend to many. An avid traveler and lover of fast cars. He will always be remembered for being the one to always lend a helping hand, with wanting nothing in return. He wanted to always see those around him do better; a role model to plenty of young men in his life. A mentor. Waking up daily with a smile on his face. We will continue to remember him as such.
