Leonard was affectionately known as P-Nut by family and friends. It was a nickname given to him by his mother. Peanut attended Crosby High School where he was a happy guy with lots of friends. He moved to Houston, Texas where he did numerous jobs, including Lawn Care. In January 2019 he moved back home. Leonard loved to go to Rock of Ages Church where he would walk every Sunday. In February his health began to fail. He had to use a walker, but he walked to church and after a while he couldn’t walk, but still talked about Pastor Johnny Henderson spreading the good news. Peanut fought until he couldn’t fight anymore. Leonard also enjoyed playing cards, dominoes and dancing with his cousins, family and friends. His biggest joy was spending time and being spoiled by his two special nieces.
