Obituary for Christopher Leadbeater

Condolence From: Amy Anglin, Westerville, Ohio
Condolence: Chris was one of my students and my neighbor in Strawberry Farms. He was always kind, energetic, and thoughtful. Often he would walk by the house and say hi. As a teenager he would offer to help rake leaves or shovel the driveway.
When the Leadbeater family adopted a family of baby ducks, he invited Mack (2 yrs) and Kelly (1 yr) to come down and see them.
When we moved to Marengo, Chris would ride his bike down the country roads to train for Motocross. He always stopped to say hi when he saw us outside. I have so many fond memories of Chris.
I'm so sad to learn of Chris' passing. Thinking of your family during this difficult time. Chris always had a special place in my heart. My prayers are with you.

Condolence: Chris was very good friends with my sons Eric and Darryl Dalesandry and my daughter, Kate Dalesandry Lam during middle and high school. It is with the deepest sorrow that we learned of his loss. I recall his laughter, his gusto for paint ball and motorcycles. He was a joy to my children and myself. On behalf of my children, we would like to send our heartfelt sympathies to Chris' family. May the knowledge that he was so loved, by so many, bring you strength and comfort.

Condolence: Our 1st grandson Christopher,

When you were born my heart skipped a beat, you were perfect from your head to your feet. Those huge Blue eyes and silky skin.
And you’re little mass of blond hair, so cute beyond compare.
When we held you for the first time we lost our breath you were so precious. We were the happiest and so very proud of our first grandson. We were filled with excitement, delight just thinking of you. We felt a deep fast love, like an unstoppable train. Christopher you gave your grandma and grandpa so much joy.

Your parents named you Christopher: which meant you would be a sensitive, loving person and you would flourish in a warm and caring environment through good deed to others.
As years past by and you reached the age of 31, little did we know that on the evening of January 14. 2016, god was going to call you home. No farewell words were spoken no time to say good-by. It broke our hearts to lose you. For parts of us went with you, the evening god called you home. In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
You left us wonderful memories, your love will always be our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side to never be forgotten. I pledge to you today my grandson a hallowed place within our hearts is where you will always stay with so much love for you.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Rest in peace my grandson Christopher love you with all our heart your Grandma and Grandpa.
