John V. Leonard

State of Washington Mt. Rainier 2021 and then cocktails after next to Big Foot!

I met John in 2018 at a new job and have worked with him since then and had become great friends and co-workers. We would travel the country side to state fairs from June through October enjoying our time together working and socializing. We enjoyed all the hard work and our travels together making great memories. This was John and Katherine walking up the trail of Mount Rainier and also Johns favorite bar and restaurant in Louisville Kentucky called the Troll. We made some great memories and you will never be forgotten John. I wish I could help celebrate with all of you, but I myself am recovering from cancer surgery and am not allowed to travel at this time. You will always be my friend and we will me again in a better place. GOD BLESS!!!

Deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. I met John at the Sarasota WOB years ago, great guy.

Dear dear John, you certainly had a zest for life. Now you are up up and away. Sailing the seas and flying through the sky. We loved sharing in your joy and all that life had to offer. You will live in our memory always. Taking the Camero for a wild ride in Clearwater, such fun. Love Pat and Garry

It took my breath away the day you died. I´m still struggling to speak. My best friend for 13 years, tied at the hip and the heart. It´s so quiet without you. There is a hush where you once stood. And yet I can still hear your voice.

I took this picture of you, as significant to me then as it is today. I gasped when I saw it here. It captures the essence of you, the joy, the lightness, the playfulness. You have a cigar in your hand, always a source of happiness.

You knew how to live. An adventurer to the core. The world was your playground, you explored it all. And you shared that zest for living with all who crossed your path. If we could grasp just 1 percent of that, we would have a life well lived. (I´m listening.)

Thank you for blessing my life with yours. Friends to the end. And beyond. So much more to say ...

I love you John Leonard. And miss you terribly.

Deb.

John, you will be missed by many. Go sailing, go skydiving . Live free like the wind. Love you, my brother

John was a great friend for a number of years. We have fell out of contact but thought of him often. A great guy gone too soon. Rest In Peace my friend

My sincere condolences to both of you, Matt and Dan, and to Barbara, Tim, Dennis and Cheryl. I thank life for allowing me to meet and know John, such a good and lovable man. I will cherish it forever in my heart.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
