To Byron's Family, Byron is a friend I truly looked forward to seeing in class every day at Case. He always had a warm smile on his face, and made every person feel welcome and important. He was intelligent and fun, with epic dance moves. My condolences to all of you. I will miss Byron, and I'm grateful to have known such a kind person.
Some friendships are chosen. Ours never felt that way. It just always was. Chris, Brandon, and I grew up together from the time we were babies, and somewhere along the way the word "friend" stopped being enough. We were brothers. Just not by blood.
Forty-nine years wasn't nearly enough time with someone like him. Chris was funny in the way that the best people are. Not performing for a crowd, he was just naturally, effortlessly himself. Full of life in a way that made everyone around him feel more alive just for being there.
There are so many good memories and times we shared (a lifetime of them and I'll be smiling through the tears for every single one.
He had a way of pushing you into something wonderful and leaving a mark on your life you carry forever. That's what brothers do.
I'm grateful for every moment. I'll miss him every day. Rest easy, brother.
To The Leak family, I'm so very sorry to hear of sweet Chris's passing. I was lucky enough to have Home room with Chris through out middle and high school. He was a thoughtful, kind and charismatic young man. He'd go out of his way to make sure you had a smile on your face and he always made sure I'd have at least one Valentine's Day card each year. He never failed to send a kind word on a little red heart, I've kept them all and will treasure my time with him forever. Heaven definitely gained an amazing angel but he'll be missed here on Earth. May your fond memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Grace
Dear Leak family- I was truly heartbroken to hear of Byron's passing. I am another medical school classmate. I sat in front of Byron during lectures and his ability to keep us all laughing, even during the most exhausting and frustrating of days, is a true skill (and a blessing) that I will never forget! He impacted so many and we will continue to keep his memory alive. Amy Cocco
To the Leak family- Byron was my beloved medical school classmate at CWRU. My friends and I are sharing so many beautiful pictures from our younger days and other memories when Byron would teach us his epic dance moves, give us silly nicknames, and somehow always keep us laughing during and after lectures. His smile and kindness were contagious and we love him dearly. LOVE, Ronda Mourad (and many others who love him)
Sorry for your strength sorry to hear of the passing of your son prayers of comfort you and your family
To John and Claudette, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your son. Sending love and peace.
On behalf of the Farrow Family, I offer sincere condolences and prayers to the Leak Family.. 🙏 ❤️
Byron was such an amazing friend. When I first met him I remember saying "wow I want to be like him". His dedication to serving his community and his patience was admirable. He never took the easy way out on anything. When Byron said he was going to do something he always followed through. Many years ago I had had a summer off of school. Byron said "you gotta stay busy supa dupa, I have some stuff I gotta do why don't you tag along?" It ended up being a summer of yard and house work at a family home in garner. Then turned into us spending almost everyday together for a month or two. Byron was such an amazing friend, my condolences to the family, he was a great one!
