Daniel leake but I knew him as dad . When me and Danielle became roommates he made me feel like a daughter he welcomed me with open arms & treated me the same. I have many memories of him and I saw how much he loved and cared for his family . Especially his Danielle he protected her at all cost . I will keep this family in prayers I know it will be hard . But I pray god gives comfort & love through these hard times. Sincerely Alona Moss

Mr. Leake, or Danny as he was fondly known to everyone was a great man. His daughter and I grew up together in the church, and Danny set the bar really high for what a true father is supposed to be. He was indeed a superhero to his children and was always nice to everyone that he ever held a conversation with. The Leake family always threw the best cookouts. It is comforting to know that as he has transcended into the next life in Heaven that there is no more pain and that there is an epically awesome cookout going down right now in the gates of heaven and Danny is having the best time. To Danielle and Daniel, I can not out into words as to how sorry I am for your loss. Praying for you hard right now. With love. LEAJ

It's terrible to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to Danielle and Daniel. Your father fought a long fight and remained in high spirits.He spoke highly of his children and how much he loved you both. I will miss his face weekly coming into Wells Fargo. May God give you both peace that you seek during this dark time in your life. Teller, Wells Fargo

Meeting Danielle in 2005 was definitely an experience. I have never met you in person but felt like I was apart of the family. I know you where crazy about Danielle as much as she was crazy about her father. Sending my deepest condolences to Danielle and Daniel. Wishing you both strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

My sincerest condolences to the Daniel Leake Family, especially his daughter and son. I worked with Daniel for 13 years. He was a fine gentleman and absolutely adored his children. He spoke often of them and was a proud Dad. He fought a hard battle and was determined every day to keep up the fight. It has been my pleasure to have known Daniel. May God surround you with love and strength during this time of loss and grief. Andrea Earles
