I am so very sorry to hear of Leigh’s passing. I have many fond memories of working with him at South Huron Hospital. Leigh made friends with everyone that he met, worked with and cared for. He always had a smile, caring word and a very giving heart.
Leigh, you may not have known or believed this, but you left a beautiful imprint on this earth. So many hearts grieve your loss. Rest in the sweetest peace.

To Leigh’s family,
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Leigh was a great guy with a big heart. I remember him when we worked at Exeter Hospital. May he rest in peace.
This guy had the biggest heart. For years I watched life kick him right between the legs and yet he usually ended the day with a smile on his face. He took me in when I had nowhere to go, made sure I was eating well and taught me a lot about taking time to enjoy the little things. Hope you’re at peace dude.
Very sorry to kearn of Leigh’s passing, he was so kind to every one he met. R.I.P Leigh ❤️

So sad to hear of Leigh’s passing. He was a kind soul and always shared a warm smile. RIP
Leigh, words can never capture the kindness and compassion you carried throughout your life. Your love for animals, music, and art brought so much joy to those around you. You had a gentle heart, and everyone who knew you was better for it. You always reminded me of our connection to something bigger than just this life.
You are deeply loved and missed by me, your brother Brock, and your nieces and nephew. I’ll never forget when Chandler was 7 months old and he got to meet his Uncle Leigh for the first time.
We will always remember your laughter, your creativity, and the love you gave so freely, not only to people but to every animal fortunate enough to cross your path.
Rest peacefully, Leigh. We love you and will carry your memory with us always. ❤️
Thank you for being the best big brother anyone could have and for leaving a big impact on so many lives, he truly was one ofthe most kind and sincere people you would ever meet and taught me a lot about life. You will be missed brother and will always live on in our memories. Thanks for always being you,
Terry
