Michael Leonhardt Obituary
Loved ones will gather in the family Memorial Garden to reflect on Michael’s life and legacy.
Cards can be sent to 2886 Eastview rd. Rock Hill SC 29732.
Pastor Mike served The Lord in many ways. He was a police officer, a firefighter, a social worker, a church program coordinator, and retired after thirty years as a United Methodist Minister. Michael was a constant champion for equal rights and absolute inclusion for all people.
The greatest joy in his life is his family. He married Linda Hinson Leonhardt in 1979. Along with his two daughters, Amanda Leonhardt and Sarah Passmore (Geoff), he has 6 grandchildren: Madalyn Cunningham (Quez), Lynda Rose Passmore, Ryan Michael Tucker, C.J. Passmore, Faith Passmore, and Patience Passmore.
In honor of Michael Leonhardt, donations can be made to your local Community Fridge and Blessings Box. Most importantly, you can help keep his legacy alive by being kind to everyone you meet, listening to a stranger’s story, and never letting fear stop you from loving others. We can make the world better together.
Death is not extinguishing the light: it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
-Sir Rabindranath Tagore
