Steven Ray Leonard Marco Island, FL 4/1/1982 to 2/20/2015
We lost our Heart this week.
Son of Bernice Clark (Marco Island), Warren (Buck) Leonard (Oakland County, MI); step-son of Vincenzo Fusco and Viky Leonard; brother of Starla (Leroy) Brantley (Royce City, TX) Dawn Leonard (Marco Island) and Jillian (Kyle) Johnson (Orlando); uncle of Ashley and Eric, Brendan and Adara, and Jack and Max. He was a beloved nephew and cousin to so many.
Steven was a friend to everyone and was loved by many. He was passionate about family, friends, and work. Steven considered his co-workers at Port Royal Jewelers as his extended family, especially his dear friend William Boyajian. Steven grew up in Michigan and developed a love of the outdoors, he was so creative and had so many talents. Steven was brighter than any Star and will be deeply missed. He was involved with many local charities including the Naples Conservancy, the Sunshine Kids, and the Humane Society. Naples lost a gem.
Visitation is scheduled for Wednesday February 25, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. with funeral at 2:00 p.m. Hodges Josberger Funeral Home, 577 E Elkcam Cir Marco Island, FL

Steven Leonard touched the lives of everyone who was fortunate enough to get to know him.
His energy and enthusiasm was contagious and effortless.
Steven had an innate ability of being able to melt the barriers of those around him.
He had such a great impact on so many people in so little time.
I personally learned so very much from him.
I am so grateful and so proud to say, Steven Leonard, was an Amazing Great Friend.
He was Truly a Diamond.
He will be missed.
He will be missed
each and every single day.
God Bless my Good Friend.

All I can say is Steven was a kind soul,and when he walked up to you he had this smile ,and if he did not believe what you was saying he made a facial expression that well you knew he thought you were full of crap.

Dearest Beloved Steven, Yours is truly one of the most beautiful spirits that I have ever had the privelege of weaving into my heart. My heart is just in a million pieces that you were taken away from us, back to Heaven, so soon. Thank you, thank you for your stunningly warm heart and care for others, for the caring and affection that you gave to me every time I saw you. You lifted my heart high, especially when it was feeling low. You probably didn't even know that. You and your family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you and miss you now and will always. I wish I had had the chance to see you again before this tragedy. God bless you for all of eternity, beautiful Steven. I hope they give you wings with a diamond dragon on them up there.
With much love, Susan
