Gregg Brannan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
The co-owner of Leonardo's Pizza Millhopper for nearly 40 years, Gregg was a friend to many in the community. He loved pizza, he wore his work on his sleeves, and, only sometimes, he wore pants. An inside the box thinker who would bury his head in whatever he was doing.
Born and raised in Springfield, Illinois before moving to Florida during high school, Gregg attended (barely) the University of Florida and earned a degree in Advertising. Favorite pastimes included Gator football, classic rock, a good dirty joke, the beach, and going to his favorite spot in Micanopy off of I-75…the Christmas House.
He is survived by his two children, Mandee and Chris; five grandchildren, his brother, Gary, and his family; and a "Not Only Sauce and Dough" commercial that will seemingly never go away.
There will be a Celebration of Life at the Depot Park Pavilions on March 11 from 2-3 pm. See Facebook Event for more details.

Gregg was awesome. When my kids were little he let their preschool class come in and make pizzas in the kitchen. The kids hade a great time & Gregg did too. When ever I think of Leonardo's or Greg it makes me smile. He will be missed.

He was the greatest guy !! I´ve been going to Leonardo´s for almost 50 years and he never failed to speak to me and my Family !! Don´t think he was ever too busy to be a nice guy !!
Me and my kids and family grew up eating there !! Even when we moved away and went on with life we still made a pilgrimage to Leo´s when we were even close to Gainesville. I never stop telling people all over the country that it is the best pizza ever ! Even more than that, the people were always awesome! No matter who worked there?! He even picked the best people !!!!! Me and my dog were even welcomed!! Looks like even she is growing up with Leonardo´s?! Lol
He is a Gainesville legend as much as Tom Petty !!
