Praise the LORD for his hearts desire to honor the Father with His Life.

I knew Joe as a neighbor, he was helpful to us. I remember a time when our dog was having problems having her puppies, Joe came over to offer help. He was courageous in my mind.

I heard alot about him during his final days, his courageous spirit was there--this time with a boldness for the LORD. What an awesome legacy. I offer my condolences to all those left behind who love him the most, his parents, his wife, and his children. May the PEACE of the LORD be upon all of you giving you Strength, giving you Joy, and allowing the grief to come but to not overtake you.

In the Mighty Name of JESUS, the One who has greeted Joe with those words we should all long to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant!"

My brother ,for all who knew him ,was always amazing and very intelligent when it came to fixing things. He could take a broken machine and break it apart and fix it with out having any prior knowledge of how to; he just knew. These past few years as he became a man of God, he continued to fix things. He was helping others fix their relationship with God. This came very natural to him. We are all so blessed to have had him in our lives. May he rest in peace. He will forever live in our hearts.

The little time I knew Mr. Leija he left a ever lasting impression on me and he left his spliting image son Joe behind to have and spread his oustanding personality that makes a room smile like his dad.
