My sincere and deepest condolences to the Leak family.

I still remember receiving a letter from Morehouse College prior to my freshman year stating that I would be residing in Graves Hall, and my roommate would be a young man named Byron Christopher Leak from Decatur, Georgia.

We didn't realize it at the time, but the friendship we developed when we were 17 would turn into a true brotherhood that would span the next several decades.

Whether it was me showing Chris around New York City, or hanging out with Chris in Cleveland, or just chilling back home in the A talking sports, music and world events, we had some great times. I will cherish the memories we made forever. Even the times when we hadn't spoken for a while, when we did talk, it was like no time had passed at all. That is the hallmark of a true friend and friendship.

I will miss my friend, Chris. Love you brother.

To John,Claudette,Brandon and Family, We are deeply sadden by the passing of Chris. What a fine young man,so kind, compassionate,thoughtful, and willing to help in all circumstances. He was always smiling, laughting and bringing joy to everyone.Our blessing is to have known Chris. The Timar Family(Emily,John, John Jr.,Dana) and Stacey W.

I am sorry for your loss. I will miss my friend, Chris.

Keeping you and your family in my prayers. May God's grace comfort you in this difficult time.

Praying for you and your family and the soul of your beloved son. May God's grace and mercy comfort you in this difficult time.

Claudette and John, "I am so incredibly sorry for your loss."

Our Prayers are with the Leak family! Sorry for your loss.

To John and Claudette, and your family, I stand with you as family today and every day. May your fondest memories of Byron always make you smile, bring you comfort, and give you peace. I love you!

John and Claudette,

Although I never had the honor of meeting your son Byron, I have known both of you for more than ten years, and I want to extend my sincere condolences during this difficult time.

While I did not know Byron personally, I understand that he achieved greatly in his medical career and served others through his work. His accomplishments and dedication to his profession stand as a meaningful legacy.

Please accept my deepest sympathy and heartfelt support in the passing of your dear and beloved son, Mr. Byron Christopher Leak, M.D.

A Son and His Journey Through Life

A son begins his journey quietly, with steps that no one hears at first— a promise carried into the world, a life unfolding in its own time.

He grows through days of learning, through effort, through moments that shape him into the man he becomes. Each choice, each challenge, each achievement marks another mile on his path.

Along the way, he gives what he can, serves where he is called, and leaves behind traces of his work— steady, meaningful, woven into the lives of others.

His journey is his own, yet it touches many. Those who knew him remember his dedication. Those who loved him carry his memory. Those he served hold the quiet evidence of a life lived with purpose.

And when his journey comes to its rest, the road he traveled remains— not in grand declarations, but in the lasting impact of a son who walked his path with commitment, with effort, and with the dignity of a life completed.

Peace Be with Your family

Ed Williams

With deepest sympathy on your son passing.

I consider you (Chris) like a 2nd son since Maurice had no siblings. God put you two together at Morehouse College & He will also do it in Heaven. Your time here on earth wasn't very long. However, when you get to Heaven, the two of you will spend eternity together!❤️🙏🏾

Prayers of comfort to you and your family

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with Mr. and Mrs. John and Claudette Leak's Family and love ones.

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!

Man, I never seen anyone Be able to handle such a workload like Byron Leeks when it came to questions to just about anything, he had answer or he'd find you an answer , and he'll go above and beyond for the people men/women in recovery at HT.

Thank you for whoever posted this and all the other members and family of HT and recovery. I appreciate y'all. I really do and if no one's told y'all they love you today, I do, thank you.
