Since we first met, you always had a special place in my heart. We had a lot of fun over the years. Growing up with you and your sisters has been amazing. From the naked protests as kids because they were going to chop the willow tree down, your multiple broken arms falling out trees, the Christmas performances for our parents, hanging out at Kandy Korner, loads of Parmesan at your place, many times running havoc and watching movies as our mums drank wine, all of the kittens you guys had, you helping Damara kick everyone out of my 16th birthday party & then helping clean everything in the morning and making us all a cup of tea. You were so cheeky, energetic and willing to give anything a go. Although this hurts so much, I hope you are resting well up there Leo. My heart goes out to Lonice, Kas, Mela, Eva and everyone else that had the pleasure of having you in their life. I will never forget your charm. Rest in peace Leo. 💗💗💔

Devastated for your family bloke. I will always remember your cheeky smile and confident swagger. You were the guy that had Goals and we enjoyed seeing you achieving them. Absolutely stunned and gutted gone too soon Rest In Peace skidder

Thinking of you all at this very sad time. Rest in peace Leo x

Knew you as a wee fella off with Balin on BMX up the Maitai. The years passed and then catching up in Invercargill with you as a 'big fella' was awesome Leo. Such a smile; a little bit wicked and just a little bit shy. We are thinking about you. You have left a footprint Leo x

I had the honor of working with Leo with the boats. My deepest condolences to his family and friends on the loss of a very talented young man.

Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to you and your family Leo. I´m sure you are now in the presence of God. God Bless you! Uncle Vince, Auntie Maria, and your cousins, Vito, Tesa, Joe & Mary from Spain.

Leo was defiantly one of a kind. He lived life to the full and lived in the moment. He was like a brother to me and will be deeply missed, he is a true legend loved by so many. See you again one day in another life and god bless you brother 💙xx

So many funny memories of Leo. He was one of a kind. He had many sleepovers at our house sharing a bed with Michael. Thinking of you all at this very sad time. He will certainly liven things up in heaven. Love you Leo. Shelley, Natalija, Michael and Milan. 💙

A beautiful young man taken too soon. All our love and thought's are with you at this very sad time
