I was sad to hear about Leon dying. A friend of mine had called me and I hadn't heard about his accident. Both my friend and I had worked with Leon at arlisle Tire&Wheel. I liked him and so did a lot of people. He will be missed. This is to everybody in Leon's family, I am really sorry about your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

 My Heart felt sorrow goes out to the family and friends of Leon. I for one will miss him greatly.  Leon and I worked together a lot of years at Carlisle Tire & Wheel. We would fellowship together and talk about most anything
(mostly problems at work).
GOD bless you on your journey with our Lord, Christ Jesus.

 My 1st cousin will be missed tremendously.  I did everything with him.  I shared my deepest thoughts with him and he with me.  Pittsburgh, Baltimore, wherever, we went.  I know 100% God waited until everything was cool before he took him home.  No doubt in my mind that "Lon" isn't with him now.  Tracy, Akeem, Deonte and Rejuan, I am truly sorry for the lost of your husband and dad.  Uncle Leon, Aunt Carole, Missy and Troy, He lives in our hearts forever.  The good times and memories are great and long lasting.  I love Leon and miss you.  I love that we were able to do all that we did.

 It is hard to believe that something so tragic had to happen to Leon that his life was cut short. He was a great father, friend, and brother. Not only do I have fond memories but many people will have those same memories of when you touched their lives and it will never be forgotten. His heart was always open to any one that was in need, whether just to offer an ear to listen to, a place to crash for a night, or a friendly night on the town. Leon will be truly missed by his family and friends but as Leon always told me, Everything will work out, it will be ok.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know at a time like this no words are comforting. Please have faith in God as he will see you through. I knew Leon from a young age ,my brother and Leon were friends and they got in their fare share of trouble but nothing major. Leon always had a big smile on and always made me laugh. Leon was just a great guy .I know he is in Gods loving arms. God Bless the Ramsey Family.

  My deepest sympathies in this tragic loss to Leon's wife and children.  Leon was my husband's best friend growing up and he always looked forward to seeing Leon whenever he came to town.  Leon was a kind man and always made me feel welcome whenever we visited him.  I loved hearing Desmond & Leon talking about all the crazy stuff they did together "back in the day".  Looking forward to the day we can see you again in heaven Leon. Thank you for being such a good friend to my husband throughout your life on this earth.

Dear Family Members

How distraught I was to hear of Leon's death. I was deeply saddened when "cousin Maxine" called and informed us what happened.He is a cousin that I never had the opportunity to meet.  I cannot express how painful that is.  I am sorry that I could not make it from Pittsburgh to the funeral, nor could the rest of the family that lives in Beaver Falls.  I will certainly be praying for you his wife, and the children, as I know how it feels to loose a father.  May
God strengthen you and keep you in his will.  I love you all though I have never seen any of you.

From The Snowden's
