Sergeant First Class, Kevin Lee Leech, 38, of Fort Leonard Wood, MO, formerly of Russellville, AR passed into glory on Friday, May 28, 2010 at Fort Leonard Wood. Kevin was a blessing to his parents, Robert Leech and the late Judy Whorton Leech, when he was born May 22, 1972 in Texarkana, TX. Precious memories and life-long friends were made when he attended Russellville High School and Atwood High School in Illinois, where he graduated in May of 1990. He was happily married to wife, Tracie Whych Leech, together; they formed a unique and wonderful bond and family. An Army Veteran of operation Iraqi Freedom, Kevin served his country with pride and honor as an expert combat engineer during his 19 year thriving military career, after being inducted February 14, 1991. Kevin was known for his generous personality, as a volunteer fireman with the St. Roberts Fire Department, near Fort Leonard wood, Mo, where he was eagerly working toward certification to become a full-time fireman following his military career.

Being an inspiring role-model, Kevin enjoyed spending his time by encouraging our youth as a softball coach and mentor. As a true outdoorsman, he loved sports and activities that took him outside, such as camping, hunting and four-wheeling in the country.
