LeoREADAged 54. With profound sadness we announce the peaceful passing with his friends Jan and Alan by his side at the Royal Derby Hospital on 7th May 2025.

He was the cherished only son of Andrea and Alan, also the friend who touched the lives of many.

Leo spent years honing his skills at Rolls Royce, where he contributed to some of the finest engineering advancements. Later he pursued his career as a self-employed Gas Safe Engineer known for his expertise and reliability. He was by nature a man of all trades when needed. In his early years he had involvement in horse riding and Derby Youth Jazz Orchestra as a trumpet player. Later he developed an interest in repairing and renovating all types of vehicles.

Rest in peace Leo. Mum and Dad xx

Committal will be by Pure Cremations on 26th May 2025. A celebration of Leo's life is being arranged ASAP. Date and time to be confirmed.
