October 28, 1960 – March 4, 2023
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith."
2 Timothy 4:7
Leo Paul Hardy departed this life on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at his residence in Baton Rouge, LA. He was 62 years old and a native of Kaplan, Louisiana. He resided in Lafayette for many years prior to relocating to Baton Rouge in 2021.
Leo was a dedicated skilled craftsman in the auto repair industry and worked as a collision body repair technician at Capital City Collision in Baton Rouge until his passing. Leo was personable and kind. He was an early riser and was up most mornings before sunrise. He had many interests and hobbies. Leo was very handy and enjoyed fixing things, electronics, operating Ham radio, and collecting Snap-On tools. He was a car enthusiast and avid sports fan. In his spare time, he enjoyed watching NASCAR, and rooting for his favorite football teams, the LSU Tigers, and the New Orleans Saints.
Leo leaves to cherish his memory two aunts, Marian Smith and her husband James Smith of Baton Rouge, and Mamie Louise Prudhomme of Lettsworth, and a host of cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Rufus "Buck" Hardy Sr. and Mary Mae Hardy.
