It is with the deepest sadness that I share the news of the sudden and unexpected passing of my beloved Father, Leon Odell "Chunkhead" who passed away peacefully in his sleep.

At just 59 years old, Leon was a pillar of strength to all that knew him. Whether you knew him as a friend, colleague, son, brother and most importantly Father, you knew his huge heart, infectious personality, quirky sense of humour and of course his unmistakable loudness. I am still lost for words that at the age of 29 I am writing this about my Father.

Because Leon’s passing was so sudden, we were not prepared for the high costs that come with a final farewell. Leon had a massive circle of family and friends, and we want to give him the dignified send off he deserves, a service that reflects the immense joy he had on all our lives. We are reaching out to his friends and family to help ease the financial burden during this devastating time.

The funds raised will go directly towards the cost of his Final Journey. Any contribution, big or small, will make a huge difference to the family.

If you are unable to donate, please would you show your support and consider sharing this page with others who knew Leon.

Thank you for your love, thoughts and prayers as we navigate this unimaginable loss.
