To have known Leo is to have known unconditional kindness and a loyal friend.
He took great pride in being a father and dedicated his life to raising his daughter. He had a passion for music and movies that he shared with many who knew him well. He had a strong work ethic in the various paths he took to support his family. He enjoyed watching football and grilling every chance he got. Leo was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed by many. In his last act of kindness he took the Honor Walk as a donor through the Gift of Hope.
Dedicated Father to Brody Antonio. Beloved son to Eusebio and Juliana Antonio. Loving Brother to Graciela (Mario) Delgado, Hilda (Greg) DePeder, Isabel (Jeff) Santori, Elvia (Michael) Heneghan & Israel Antonio. Cherished Uncle to Jacob, Joshua, Benjamin, Madeline, Liam, Tristan & Juliana.

Leo was an amazing friend. I’m a better person for having been fortunate enough to have him in my life for so many years. He was always there for me and he always gave great advice and a shoulder to cry on. He was like a big brother to me. No one will replace the bond we shared. Also he raised an amazing kid with a big heart. I know he was so proud. I’ll miss him forever. We all will 💛 love you buddy
To loose a family member is tough, even more when it’s someone you grew up with, someone who was always willing to play tag or hide n seek, tell scary stories, watch teenage mutant Ninja turtles and then reenact them. We all knew what character Leo wanted to play. But as time went on we slowly drifted apart, we became adults, had children of our own but even so we remained child at heart. I will always remember and cherish all the memories we had growing up. Leo was a funny outgoing amazing person and the world is a lesser place without him. Even though physically he is no longer with us he will remain in our hearts forever. You will be truly missed primo, untill we meet again.💟💟
