Leland Cronce Obituary
He lived all of his life in Brown City. Lee enjoyed fishing, trading, selling, collecting and 'the art of the deal'. He loved people, and all animals, especially dogs. His friends described him as an all-around good guy. We couldn't agree more. His pride was his family. Lee was a wonderful father, foster parent, son, and trusted friend.
His family, Andrea, son, Lee J. Cronce, daughter, Jasmine (Jake) Grosenbach, granddaughter Layla, grandson Dawson; parents Allen and Kelly Cronce, grandmothers, Ruth Turner and Jackie Turner. Jerry and Denise Clark, Jenny Hawk, sisters-in-law Carissa (Casey) Anger, niece Caitlin, Nickey (Tom) Howland and nephew Grayson, brother-in-law Cody Hawk and Rebecca, as well as many, many close cousins and lifetime friends are left to grieve his loss.
Preceded in death by Beloved grandparents: Ordell Turner, Leland and Donna Cronce, and nephew Evan Anger
Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 3rd, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at Goodland Community Church 2008 N. Van Dyke Imlay City, Mi.

Love doesn't go away, it just changes. Remember him at his happiest and search for your own peace here on earth

We will miss Lee. He was a nice guy. He was always a calming, relaxing presence. And I never hear him say a bad word about anyone. RIP
