Joshua Leonard
September 24, 1991 — May 5, 2019
Joshua Jerome Leonard, age 27, of Lake City, passed away Sunday, May 5, 2019 in a farming accident. He was born September 24, 1991 in Rochester, MN to Jeffrey & Annette (Book) Leonard.

Josh and Melanie were united in marriage on October 25, 2014 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bellechester. Josh found his dream job driving semi-truck with Nibbe Grain Hauling, where he had the opportunity to have ownership of 'Blackie,' his own truck. His pride and joys were the '39 and the Paddy Wagon. His passions included spending time with his wife, Melanie; working on his rat rods, cruising around, participating in car shows, or helping his rat rod family with their cars; catching up with old friends and spending time with family, especially his niece and nephews and of course, making sure his semi & rat rods were spotless. Josh was a member of eRATicate Cancer Cruise and the Sons of the American Legion in Bellechester.
