In loving memory of Kenneth James Leidenbor, born on February 5, 1952, in Cincinnati, OH, and was the beloved son of the late Anthony and the late Virginia Leidenbor. Kenneth peacefully passed away on July 21, 2025, at the age of 73. Kenneth lived a life that was a testament to his hard work, dedication, and love for family and friends.

His unwavering dedication to his family was evident in his role as a caregiver to his parents. Ken is survived by his dear siblings, Sharon (Glenn) Harmeyer, Tommy (Pam) Leidenbor, and Jimmy Leidenbor. He was a caring uncle to Timmy, Kevin, Jeff (Alyssa), Ryan (Emma), Kristie (fiancé Travis), and Ben. A great-uncle to Gavin, Blake, Lukas, Knox, Jase, and Cam. Ken's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him, as his life was marked by compassion and an ever-present willingness to lend a helping hand.

Professionally, Ken started working alongside his father in the family owned service station and later worked tirelessly as a truck driver.

Ken had a deep appreciation for history, particularly the events of World War II. His collection of World War II books sparked countless conversations filled with stories of the past. Ken also enjoyed his extensive model train and matchbox collection. Outside of his hobbies, Ken's heart extended to the community as he coached youth baseball for many years. He will be dearly missed by his family.

In honor of Ken's life, a visitation will be held at St. Ann Church, located at 2900 West Galbraith Rd., on Friday, July 25, 2025, from 9:30 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorials be made to St. Ann Church. Let us gather to reflect on his life and the joy he brought to our world.
