It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Harold “Leon” Kennedy (85), of Stevensville Montana, on January 20, 2025. He was surrounded by family members in his final moments. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Theresa; his four children; multiple grandchildren; and great grandchildren.
Harold, fondly known as Leon, was a man of immense humor and wisdom, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones. He was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather. His unwavering faith and the life lessons he imparted will remain with us forever. His sense of humor, comical antics and jokes will be missed dearly. A true trickster, he deemed himself “the ole fox,” as no one could out-smart or compete with his pranks. Never a dull moment or absence of laughter when Leon was present.
His passion for hunting and fishing was shared with his children and grandchildren. He loved to go fishing and would often be seen with a beer in one hand and a fishing pole in the other. Leon was also an avid animal lover. He spent much of his time caring for horses, chickens, cows and many other barnyard animals. He was rarely seen without his cowboy boots, belt buckle and any one of his beloved cowboy hats.
His faith, humor, and true spirit will forever be remembered. Leon will be laid to rest at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery and honored at a memorial at a later date.
