John had a heart of gold and a smile as wide as the sea. He loved life, family and friends. Let the memory of John Leonard be with us forever. | ![]() |
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, John Theodore Leonard, 67, born on July 7, 1944 and passed away on January 20, 2012. Please feel free to share stories, photos, or videos of your memories of him. We will remember him forever.
"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path the Lord Jesus laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard his call, I followed Him and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found my peace at Heaven's gate.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
The love we shared, a laugh, a kiss - Oh yes, I know these things you'll miss.
But please do not be burdened with the sorrow that you feel,
Instead, rejoice with me as I feast with my Saviour for our very first meal.
Surrounded by His glory, you can only imagine what I now see. So lift up your heart and know God wanted me now... He set me free."

"We would like to extends our deepest sympathy with the Leonards for the lost of UNCLE JOHN., Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.. -- Myra Huliganga-Pascual (youngest of ARTHUR), Christopher and Zanji."
"We will forever remember the fun times we had with John & his wife, Susan. We are all Blessed to have known both. John & I always seem to have so much to talk about. "I am so sorry, JOHN, for not allowing you the time to be heard...or did I? You have been a true friend to us. Our Destiny, also, is headed to Heaven at the same time you did. We ♥ you & will be missed but not forgotten!!!"
"I am a neighbor of John and his wonderful family. I have very very fond memories of him. He would ALWAYS have a smile and a chat as we would cross paths. I can hear his laughter, his passion for life and his wonderful kind words. I know I will miss him very much as now our neighborhood is minus a dear friend. Goodbye for now John. I KNOW I will see you, again, but this time in Heaven."
