Leon F. Hall, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home in Orlando, Florida, on November 28, 2025, at the age of 82. Born on February 13, 1943, in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, Leon lived a life marked by hard work, dedication to family, and an unmistakable humor that endeared him to those around him.
A graduate of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, Leon earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Engineering, which paved the way for a successful career. He ran his own business, HST Services, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he specialized in treating steel tubing for side impact door beams on General Motors automobiles. Leon's commitment to his work was evident, and he proudly served his industry until his retirement in 2010, after which he relocated to Central Florida.
Leon was known for his funny personality and his ability to bring laughter into the lives of his loved ones. His playful banter with his wife, Carolyn, often led to her teasing him to stop joking. He possessed a warm smile and had an innate talent for conversation, making every gathering he attended brighter and more enjoyable.
Among his many interests, Leon found great joy in golf, a hobby that allowed him to spend time outdoors and connect with friends and family. He took immense pride in being a diligent worker and provider for his family, cherishing his role as a father above all. His children, Anstin Hall and his wife, Lili Ann, daughter Dawn Moore and her husband, Scott, and son Terrence Hall were the pride and joy of his life.
Leon leaves behind a legacy of love and connection in the form of his five grandchildren, Marcus Hall, Derrick Moore, Sydney Moore, Brianna Hall, and Alyssa Hall, as well as three great-grandchildren, Bryson Moore, Paxton Hall, and Landry Hall. His bond with family extended through his sister, Patricia Freow, and sister-in-law, Betty Smallwood, along with brother-in-law, Sidney Smallwood, and many cherished nieces and nephews.
Leon is preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence C. and Odessa D. (Tucker) Moore, and his siblings, brother Cornell Moore and sister Irene L. Dismuke.
His spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, forever remembered for his kindness, laughter, and unwavering love.
A memorial service will be celebrated at a later date at Life Center Church, Eatonville, FL. This page will be updated with the service information when ready to be announced.
