Michael S. Leonard, loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, died on July 6, 2009 in Salt Lake City, Utah at age 67.
Born July 4, 1942 in Phoenix, Arizona to exemplary parents Joseph Mack and Zenna Elizabeth Leonard, Michael grew up in Salt Lake City where he attended Dilworth Elementary, Hillside Junior High, and East High School. He continued his education at University of Utah, where he earned a bachelor degree in political science and a Masters degree in business administration.
He married Donna D. Grantham for time and eternity in the Mesa, Arizona Temple. They had a wonderful life together, enjoying their three children: Susan (Jeff) Hermanson, Matthew Leonard, and Stacey (Richard) Adamson.
