Leo Yerxa

I met Leo many years ago in Indianapolis. He was quiet, spoke from the heart. He was so proud of his children. He spoke about them often. We shared many laughs and heartfelt conversations. An incredibly creative and wise person. Sadly our last conversation was late part of 2001. I will always remember Leo and his words of wisdom. I have all his books and Im thankful he signed them. Some pictures. A lovely one of a horse. Im also thankful he had so much love around him. Rest In Peace My Friend...

Leo will be missed by everyone. So glad Leo had you Max and his family around. Leo will be missed by everyone who knew him. He will be remembered by everyone who knew him. He was well known by everyone who knew him. His art and books will be remembered by everyone. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, as he touched everyone in a special way. My condolence goes to Max and family.

Leo was a friend and very meaningful person in my life for many years
Thank you Leo

Met Leo years ago in Thunder Bay along with his gorgeous watercolours and flute music. A great loss! Deepest condolences to his loved ones at this time and in the days ahead.

Leo was my dear friend, I am deeply sorry to learn of his passing. He was by far and away the most talented artist I've known, a true master. He had a unique process of writing and making art together, in developing his projects. The last time we spoke, he expressed his happiness with the support of his family: he was feeling the love. I send my condolences to the family and to all who miss him.

Martin,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. He was extremely accommodating when he would let us hang out at his place after taking the bus in from Morrisburg and letting us use his drafting table. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely,

My best friend from high school was his son Martin, and because of this I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Yerxa on several occasions, and seeing his beautiful works of art in person. Leo struck me as an extremely kind and gentle soul. My Father also knew Mr. Yerxa personally, and always praised his art and spoke highly of his character. His talents were many, and great.

My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and all those who's lives he touched. May his...
