LEO WAS A LOVING, CARING, AND FREE-SPIRITED PERSON WHO WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF OF HIS BACK. HE MADE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE HE WENT
AND WELCOMED EVERYONE WITHOUT JUDGMENT. NO MATTER WHO YOU WERE OR WHERE YOU CAME FROM, LEO ALWAYS MADE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ACCEPTED. HE WAS HARDWORKING, HUMBLE, AND
NEVER CARED ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS. THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE MEANT THE MOST TO HIM.
 

  LEO HAD AN UNFORGETTABLE PERSONALITY. HE WAS FUNNY, OUTGOING, AND ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. HE LOVED TELLING STORIES, JOKING AROUND, AND CREATING MEMORIES WITH THE PEOPLE HE LOVED. AROUND FAMILY, HE COULD MAKE YOU LAUGH ONE MINUTE AND ANNOY YOU THE NEXT, BUT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY MAD AT HIM FOR LONG. HIS ENERGY, SMILE, AND POSITIVITY COULD LIGHT UP ANY ROOM.
HE HAD A HEART OF GOLD AND DREAMED OF TRAVELING THE WORLD, CHASING WARM WEATHER, MUSIC, AND NEW EXPERIENCES. LEO LOVED ART, LEARNING, NATURE, AND LIVING LIFE FREELY. MORE THAN ANYTHING, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND ALWAYS MADE AN EFFORT TO STAY CONNECTED NO
MATTER WHERE LIFE TOOK HIM.
 

LEO WAS ALSO INCREDIBLY MOTIVATING AND SUPPORTIVE. HE BELIEVED IN PUSHING FORWARD NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THREW AT YOU AND ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. ONE THING HE ALWAYS SAID WAS,
"NEVER STOP, KEEP GOING," AND THOSE WORDS TRULY REFLECTED THE WAY HE LIVED HIS LIFE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
