Obituary:

Michelle Renee Leamon, known to her loved ones as Chelle Belle, passed away on April 6, 2024, in Tampa, FL, at the age of 31. She was born on February 20, 1993, in Brandon, FL. Michelle's light shone brightly in every room she entered, captivating the attention of all those around her. She was an outgoing, high-spirited individual who took no nonsense, yet her love for her son, Julian McNeely, knew no bounds.

Michelle's hobbies included indulging in arts and crafts, particularly using her cricut, watching her favorite show "Friends," spending quality time with her son, and enjoying the outdoors. She was a devoted mother who cherished every moment with Julian.

Michelle is survived by her father, Kevin Leamon, mother, Delta Ireland, stepmother, Liz Leamon, son Julian McNeely, grandmothers Johnnie Ruth Leamon and Nancy Tanner, sister Rachel LaRue, brother-in-law Eric LaRue, nephew Eric LaRue Jr, brother Christopher Duzen as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Julian Tanner and Donald Ray Leamon.

Michelle's presence in the lives of those who knew her will be deeply missed, but her spirit and love will forever be cherished by all who were fortunate enough to have been touched by her warmth and light.

Sister, it's been a year. A whole year without my best friend. I miss you more than words. When I want to celebrate a happy moment, it's you who I want to turn to. When I'm sad, it's you who I want to turn to. I find so many moments in my day where I would turn to you and I didn't realize how many of those moments there were until there's no more moments. This ache that never subsides. This hollow part of my heart you took with you. Part of me went with you sister. I hope you're receiving all the love you could possibly accept where you're at. I love you. I love you so damn much. Until we meet again my beautiful sister.

Dearest Michelle you are loved missed every day. As your birthday nears, memories remind me how very special you were.

Friends please don´t hesitate or feel bashful about telling someone you love them. Send the text, leave a voicemail, give an extra hug. Michelle is a perfect example of how quickly life can change and opportunities cease.

I wish I had sent Michelle one more "I you".

Michelle was the biggest newborn. No kidding, 22 1/2 inches long! The medical staff almost had to drape her legs over the end of the bassinet. A beautiful, healthy, flawless-skinned baby, it did not take long for that high wattage smile to appear. Her smile and the sound of her laughter will be remembered and now cherished.
