William Leonard

Bill was born on April 4, 1981 in Warren, PA to Dennis and Georgia Bish Leonard. He worked for a time as a security guard at the National Forge in Irvine. Bill was a huge part of his niece’s lives, Jaquie and Ashlee, as they were growing up. He loved to hangout with all of his friends. His hobbies were fishing, Xbox, concerts, fireworks and traveling to Indiana to his soul brother’s, Randall Bradley. Bill also loved Chinese food, as he would travel for hours just to try a new restaurant. He enjoyed watching the Cincinnati Bengals and spending time with his dogs, Mocha and Rocky, but most of all, he loved spending time with his wife.

Bill is survived by his wife, Deborah Leonard, whom he married Feb. 21, 2014; his step-children, Troy and his companion Hannah, Sarah, and Andrew; two step-grandchildren, Arielle and Jayden, and his brother, David (Cheryl) Leonard.

In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his sister, Denise Leonard and a sister-in-law, Lisa Stover.

A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 3-6 PM at Betts Pavillion at Betts Park in Warren, PA.
