Help Ashley’s Family After Chip Leonard’s Passing

We are heartbroken to share that our dad, Charles Brown Leonard III (Chip), passed away on March 18, 2025. He was not only an incredible father but also a pillar of strength for our family.

What makes this even harder is the impact on my sister, Ashley, and her kids. Our dad was deeply involved in their lives — helping with childcare, emotional support, and providing stability. His passing leaves not only an emotional gap but also a significant financial burden.

This loss is especially difficult because Ashley’s children also lost their father in a tragic accident in 2020. Our dad stepped in to help fill that gap, providing constant love and support for Ashley and her kids. Now, with his passing, Ashley is facing the challenge of raising her children without the daily help and stability our dad provided.

We’re setting up this fundraiser to help cover immediate expenses such as housing, childcare, food, medical bills, and grief and family counseling — and to give Ashley and her kids some stability as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.

If you’re able to contribute, any amount — big or small — would mean the world to our family. And if you’re not in a position to give, sharing this campaign would be equally appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and love during this time.
