John Leonard Jr

December 10, 1942 - April 6, 2022

Beloved father, John L Leonard Jr., 79, of Sun City Center, passed away on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. John was born on December 10, 1942, in Aiken, South Carolina to John L Leonard Sr. and Elinor McFarland Leonard of Broad Axe, Pennsylvania. John graduated from Ambler High School in Ambler, Pennsylvania in 1961, and then enlisted in the U.S. Army. John is a Vietnam War Veteran. After his honorable discharge, John attended Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts), where he studied Industrial Design. During this time, he met his wife of 45 years, Elizabeth ‘Ann’ Cooper Leonard, originally from Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. John and Ann settled and raised their daughter Carolyn in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, where they lived for close to 30 years. John worked for Turner Construction Company for many years before creating his own construction management company. John was predeceased by his parents and his wife Ann. John is survived by his long-time partner Mary Braun of Apollo Beach, Florida; his daughter Carolyn Leonard of Dallas, Texas; Cousins too numerous to fully mention but include Robert and Doris Bowen of Warrenton, Virginia; Marcia Bowen Applegate from Chantilly, Virginia; Deanna Pearson Heishman of Front Royal, Virginia; and Nora Leonard Magee of Peapack, New Jersey. John was an active member of the Ruskin Moose Lodge (813) and enjoyed spending time with his partner Mary, dancing, billiards, reading and antiquing. Instead of flowers, we ask that you do a stranger an act of kindness. He would like that. We all need a little grace right now.
