In Loving Memory of Leonard Detmer Jr.
It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Leonard Detmer Jr.
Leonard leaves behind his beloved wife, Linda Detmer, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, family, and memories. He was a devoted father to his five children: Leonard Detmer III and his wife Sandy, Dawn Sitze (Detmer), Tom Detmer, Don Detmer and his wife Cristy, and Tracy Swann (Detmer) and her husband Dave Swann.
Leonard was also a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him tremendous joy, and he cherished every opportunity to spend time with them. Family was the center of Leonard’s life, and his greatest pride was watching generations of his family grow.
Leonard was known for his dedication, strong work ethic, and loyalty. He served as President of Lemay Concrete Block until his retirement, continuing a family legacy begun in 1947 by his father, Leonard Detmer Sr. Through his leadership and commitment, he helped carry forward the values of hard work, integrity, and perseverance that built the company.
Beyond his career accomplishments, Leonard will be remembered most for his devotion to his family and friends. He was someone people could depend on—steady, caring, and deeply invested in those he loved. His presence, guidance, stories, and love leave a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.
Though he will be deeply missed, Leonard’s legacy lives on through his wife of 60 years marriage, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all whose lives he touched.
Forever loved. Forever remembered.
