Obituary published on Legacy.com by Rogers Funeral Home, Inc. - Philadelphia on May 15, 2025.
Wayne Edward "Dude" Leemon, 59, sadly lost his battle with cancer on May 13, 2025.
Wayne was born in Philadelphia on August 1, 1965 to the late William and Helen Leemon (née Kuhn). He grew up in South Philadelphia and worked as general contractor. He often used his skills to help family and friends.
Wayne is pre-deceased by his parents and his brothers William "Billy" Leemon, Jr., John "Jack" Leemon, and Michael "Murph" Leemon. He is survived by his son Nicholas, his daughter Chloe, his sisters Kim and Kelli, his long-term partner Michele Erbenich, uncles, aunts, and many nieces and nephews.
Family and friends remember Wayne for his love of animals and his mischievous sense of humor, including his favorite joke of taking off his prosthetic leg to scare neighborhood kids.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
