My little brother, my best friend, now , my angel.
Little brother, knowledgeable on everything, heart of gold, loved the Lord, sense of humor, and never missed a beat to pull a joke on me. He was a phone call away if I ever needed him. All I had to do was call. Our trip with him and Wanda was awesome. We had a great time. My memories will live on forever. My biggest blessing was when the Lord gave our family our little brother. I know God needed a good angel. Love ya little brother.
My little brother,
I will miss you. I loved all of our times we were together. When we were older we got to visit each other. You came to see us when we were camping at Magnolia Ridge and also fished on our dock at Lake Hyatt. I am glad we always lived close, so we have those memories. When you were small I always watched after you. You were my little brother. I will miss the phone calls and our visits. You will be missed my sweet little brother.
I’m truly sorry your loss. Leon was such a good man, husband, father and “Grumpy, as he was called by his grandkids” and also a great friend He will truly be missed by all who knew him. My prayers go out to the family during this time and on into the future.
God wrap your loving arms around this family and hold them close to your bosom.
I knew Mr. Leon, from working at Gulfmark when he hired me as a driver. We, I believe became friends during that time but even more after his retirement. I would call and talk with him from time to time or just to catch up with what was going on with him and Mrs. Wanda as well as my family. We talked about and and everything, and he will truly be missed by me and my family.
My sympathy to his family and friends during the days ahead, I worked briefly with Leon at Howell Transportation years ago he was a good man 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I knew Leon from high school, he was a good guy. So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family. Jerry & Gay Tatom
