Leo Henry Caesar III, born on September 15, 1943, in Houston, Texas, to Leo Henry Caesar Jr. and Helen Ruth Caesar, passed away on January 21, 2025, leaving behind his devoted wife of 61 years, Carole Davis Caesar.

A graduate of Spring Branch High School in 1961, Leo pursued his studies at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, where he met his future wife, Carole.

For over five decades, Leo dedicated his life to the family business, Diesel Parts Sales, and continued the work he loved at Diesel Specialists until his final days. His expertise and knowledge in the diesel repair industry earned him widespread admiration and recognition. He provided valuable assistance to loyal customers and factory representatives globally. Leo's unwavering commitment to service and his strong work ethic laid the foundation for a comfortable life for his family.

A passionate advocate for youth, Leo served the Boy Scouts of America for an impressive 52 years. His exceptional service and dedication were honored with the prestigious Silver Beaver Award, the highest recognition bestowed upon a volunteer leader at the council level. Leo took great pride in the fact that his sons and grandsons continued his legacy of service within the Boy Scouts organization.

In addition to his work with the Scouts, Leo served his church as an Evangelist Patriarch and was a board member at Camp Sionito in Bandera, Texas. He dedicated his time to teaching Sunday school and volunteering as a camp counselor, sharing his love for his community and imparting valuable life lessons to the younger generation.

Leo is survived by his devoted wife, Carole; their children, including Leo Caesar IV and his wife Hope Caesar, Douglas Caesar and his wife Mary Caesar, Sherry Caesar and her wife Christy Caesar, and Randal Caesar and his wife Keely Caesar; and his sister, Betty Magnuson.
