After marrying the love of his life, Cynthia Dawn Leonard, he built a lifelong career with Messick and Gray Construction, Inc. in Bridgeville, DE, retiring as a general manager after 28 dedicated years. Mr. Leonard's love of the outdoors was evident by his love of hunting and he did that as often as he could.
He was a collector of different firearms and took great pride in his collection gathered throughout the years. More than anything, Mr. Leonard loved spending time with those he held most dear, especially his grandchildren who were the apples of his eyes. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His presence will be deeply and genuinely missed by all who had the good fortune to know and love him.
Mr. Leonard is survived by his beloved wife, Dawn Leonard; his children: Taylor "Ty" Leonard (Jen), and Krista H. Tallent (Joey); his grandchildren: Abrielle, Landon, and Weston; and his siblings: Terri Baker (Dick), Susan Disharoon (Vic), and John Leonard (Nancy).
