Larry Leonard

Larry Eugene Leonard, age 72 of Birmingham, AL passed away on April 9, 2025. He served in the U.S, Army and had a rank of SP4 and he was also a disabled veteran. My dad will be remembered for his strength, kindness, diligence, and extreme love for his children. He was a strong, nurturing presence, with wise guidance, and unconditional love. His Braveness, the support he showed, his personality to make the whole room laugh, and consistency to spread love to his family was pure amazing! He had a great love for sports, especially the unique love for baseball. Loved taking rides around the city just to be out the house and stopping by everyone home just to speak. Love doing yard work and had a special bond with his pet companion Snow. Mr. Leonard was someone you were blessed to have in your life and we should cherish people we encounter with that type of loving spirit. He is preceded in death by his grandson, Devante Hinds, his brothers, Howard Leonard, Michael Leonard, Winston Leonard, James Leonard and Mose Leonard and his sisters, Leola Branch and Bobby Jean Veasey. He is survived by his wife, Gloria Leonard, his children, Mose Leonard, Yule Brooks, Corliss Davis and Vontricesa Davis; his grandchildren, Keyana Deondra Brooks, Breyah Brooks, Janessa Edwards, Brendon Davis, Timothy Burnett, Jr. and Corlaeja Davis; his great grandchildren, MaLannie Daley and Brendon Davis, Jr.; his sisters, Rhonda (Larry) King, Delinda Leonard and Ann Taylor.
