Doug was born on November 24, 1967, to Darrell and Henrietta Leonard in Topeka,
Kansas. He attended Santa Fe Trail High School in Carbondale, Kansas, and as a
young man, he proudly served his country in the Army National Guard. One of Doug’s
favorite things to do was driving, and he loved his job as a delivery driver for RichSmith
Development.
Doug had a big heart, a generous spirit, and made friends easily wherever he went. He
was an avid motor sports fan, a huge animal lover, and a patriotic American who
enjoyed traveling around the country.
He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Beverly. Doug is also survived by his
father and stepmother, Carol Leonard, and two brothers, Arthur Leonard and wife,
Chris, and Glenn Leonard, along with four nephews, Benjamin Leonard and wife, Emily,

Leonard. Doug is also survived by his cherished cat, Cody. He is predeceased by his
mother.
There will be an informal gathering to celebrate Doug’s life at a later time. The family
requests that anyone wanting to honor his memory please make donations in support of
the Pulaski County Humane Society or the Salvation Army.

I had the honor of working with Doug for the past 4 plus years. He was a good person and a good friend. My condolences to Beverly and all of his family. Gone much to soon.
I am so sorry for your loss. Doug was always a joy to be around. Prayers for you at this difficult time.
Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Doug was such a kind spirit, he could find laughter in even the simplest things.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thank you for your service, Sir!
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry for your loss.
Doug was a great friend. His love of animals, particularly kitties, led to me taking in my precious furry companion, Cavnis.
Beverly, Doug is missed but will always be remembered with love.
Bev, we are so sorry for your loss. Doug was a wonderful person. It was an honor to know him.
I still can’t believe Doug is gone. He was so full of life. He was a wonderful brother-in-law to me. I could always call on him if I needed anything. He was generous with his time, knowledge of home repairs, and common sense advice and wisdom. He buried at least 3 or 4 of my pets over the years for me and grieved along with me. He genuinely never met a stranger and cared about people. I miss him so much.
