JEFFREY LEACH Obituary

LEACH, Jeffrey Rohm Jr. Age 26, passed away on October 25th at his home in Austin, Texas. He was born on February 26, 1990 in Boston, Massachusetts to Jeffrey Leach Sr. and Cynthia Leach. He was the oldest of three siblings (Madeline, 24 and Daniel, 22). Jeffrey, who liked to be called Jeff, grew up in the Boston area and attended the Tenacre Country Day School, the Belmont Hill School and the Noble and Greenough School. Jeff went on to receive his Bachelors Degree at Georgetown University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Economics and a minor in Business. He was admitted to the Georgetown Economics Honor Society for his outstanding academic accomplishments, and was a member of the Sig Ep fraternity. After college, Jeff worked as a consultant at Booze Allen in Washington, DC, and later as a Senior Analyst at United Health Care in Austin. He was very passionate about his work and loved his job. Throughout his childhood he loved playing sports, his favorite being ice hockey. During his early years, he played youth ice hockey and baseball, and later football in junior high and high school. Jeff was proud to be a member of the undefeated 2007 Nobles football team. He was an avid Boston Bruins and NE Patriots fan. Jeff loved being around his family, teammates, and his friends, who remember him for his sense of humor, intelligence and kindness. He was a genuine, good-hearted person who even as a child said that his perfect day included "playing street hockey in the neighborhood and spending time with my family". He will be dearly missed by those who were fortunate enough to have known him. Jeff lost his life after an eight year struggle with anorexia. As Jeff would have wanted, a private memorial service will be held for immediate family. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Jeff Leach Foundation Inc. to benefit males who are battling eating disorders. Checks can be mailed to: 22 Liberty Drive #3J, Boston, MA 02210.

I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Jeff. My warmest sympathies to all of your family. My memories of Jeff in Grade 3 and beyond were nothing but joyful ones - always kind, hard worker, incredibly talented and creative in the artistic areas, bright, subtle sense of humor, and a smile with those dark eyes that would melt your heart. And what a great treat for Nancy Murdock and me to join you all for the BBQ in your home with the kids all peeking in and I believe Jeff played the piano for all of us that night too. Cindy, Jeff, Maddie and Dan - you have lost something special indeed. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers and many of us who taught Jeff and are still at Tenacre are sharing wonderful memories about an amazing child who once attended Tenacre. May happy memories help to comfort you all. Take care.

My deepest condolences to you,Cindy, Maddie, on the loss of your son and brother. Your warmth and kindness towards Nike and I when our paths crossed at Nobles are a tiny glimpse into who I am sure Jeffrey was as well. His picture is beautiful and I wish I had known him. May God bless you and sustain you, and the whole family now and forever.

I was absolutely devastated to hear this - my memory of Jeff as a favorite kindergarten student of mine: so much light and exuberance - amazed by all the wonderful things that he did! So much love to the entire beautiful family - and thank you for providing a powerful way to bring relief to so many who suffer the trauma of eating disorders.

I don't have appropriate words to express how devastating a loss this is for everyone who knew Jeff. I worked with Jeff and he was just such a fantastic person, our conversations were always a bright spot in my day. I am so grateful I got to know him and I am so very, very sorry for your loss and want you to know how much he will be missed.
