Leo Passed Away

From Amy:

Leo John Hoepfner was called home early this morning to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He fought an incredible battle and is a true warrior. He was one of the best men I have ever had the privilege of knowing, and I was even more blessed to have been able to call him my best friend and husband. I don't know why God always takes the good ones so early, but I guess He needs him more than we do right now. We should be so grateful to have such an amazing soul up in heaven rooting for us and watching over us...

Goodbye my pookie bear, my love. I will see you again someday, until then you will be sorely missed and I will think you of every day <3

The wake will be Friday night, and the funeral will be Saturday morning.

  1. I am so sorry. I've been waiting to hear more about him and was hoping for his family. Really I never know what to say. I'm just really sorry.

  3. this is so heartbreaking...I've been reading your posts about Leo and it's all just so unfair. It seems like Amy's faith is helping her cope with the loss. I don't really believe in much of a higher power but I do think in situations like this it can be very helpful to some people.

    I agree with Keiko...fuck cancer.
