Larry Eugene Leonard, 74, of Pleasant Garden, North Carolina passed away in his home on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
Larry was born in Sanford, NC on January 11, 1950 to the late Roy E. Leonard Sr. and Elsie Thomas Leonard. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Carroll Leonard Miller, his brother, Roy E. Leonard Jr. and wife, Martha Jean Leonard.
Larry was a loving husband to Martha for 28 years before her passing, where he continued to live in their home in Pleasant Garden. Larry was a veteran and served in the United States Army. Over the years Larry enjoyed hunting, playing golf, fishing, taking care of his yard, smoking nice cigars and spending time with his family and friends. He was a salesman for Ameritek for 32 plus years and retired in December 2021.
Larry was a beloved stepfather to his surviving daughter, Stacey Dozier (Husband Wayne) and son, Brian Anderson (Holly). He was also a beloved Papa and will be greatly missed by his surviving grandchildren, Lily Dozier, Ava Dozier, Jacob Dozier, Isabella Dozier, and Harper Anderson. He is also survived by his sister, Pat Owens, aunt, Maryanne Howard, and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
