I enjoyed our conversations about music and singing with him on our praise and worship team ,
I don’t even know where to begin other than when I first met Leon he forever changed my world and he instantly became one of my most dearest friend. He was a very caring human being. Loved his family and friends. An incredible musician. This world will never be the same without him. Heaven scored big time.
