Leonard E. Speers, 72, of Fayetteville, PA, unexpectantly went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 28, 2020 while in Florida with his family. Leonard was born December 5, 1947 and grew up in Fairport, NY; he was the son of the late Harold and Irene (De Groot) Speers. He was a 1966 graduate of Fairport High School and went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Trine University.

He met his beloved wife, Kathy J. (Duncan) Speers, in Terre Haute, IN where they married on March 26, 1983 and went on to have three children. Leonard, above all else, was a devoted Christian and loved the Lord Jesus Christ as was evident in the way he eagerly shared his faith and desired for others to know Jesus as their Savior. He was an active member of Chambersburg Bible Church and served on the church board for many years. His favorite hobbies were gardening, playing pickleball, fishing, golfing, hunting, volunteering with various ministries, and playing with his grandkids.
