Edward David Leon
April 20, 1976 — July 18, 2011
Edward David Le'n, Jr., 35, was born in Los Angeles, California on April 20, 1976 and entered eternal life on July 18, 2011 in Durango, Mexico.
Jr. is survived by his loving mother Francisca Qui'ones, three beautiful children; Christopher Le'n, Jeremiah Le'n and Sophia Le'n. He also leaves behind 8 brothers and sisters; Beatriz Ricartti, Rebecca Ricartti, Ricardo Qui'ones, Adriana Qui'ones, Paco Qui'ones, Victor Qui'ones, Patricia Le'n and Veronica Le'n-Medina. As well as 24 nieces and nephews.
Jr. was a very caring, unique, funny and charming individual who made friends with everyone he encountered. If he was ever in your presence it was sure that you would be having a great time with his sense of humor, funny faces and great big laugh. He loved watching football, and going to see the Lakers play at Staples. He had an eclectic taste of music, from Ramon Ayala to Guns n Roses. He would always say 'you only live once', so always get the best of everything for yourself. He also enjoyed going to the movies on opening night, the beach, and dining at the best restaurants in any town. Above all he loved spending time with his children, family & friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially by his family. Junior had faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and we know that we will see him again when we receive our call from our Lord to join him.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone will stay that way,
I found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I, too, will miss.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, July 31, 2011 from 2:00-7:00pm at Risher Mortuary Chapel with Rosary starting at 6:00pm with Fr. Greg Boyle as the officiant.
Jr. was a avid Laker fan, his family invite everyone to wear Laker gear to the visitation on Sunday in honor of Jr.
Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, August 1, 2011 at 9:00am at St. Benedict Church 1022 W. Lincoln Ave.,Montebello, CA 90640.
