Gordon "Gordie" Curtis Leach, age 55, a resident of Fort Mohave, Arizona
passed away suddenly due to the evil Covid on Wednesday, June 8, 2021 at
Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Gordie was born and raised in Anaheim, Calif. and graduated from
Magnolia High School in 1984. He lived in various states throughout the
years but his final destination was moving to Bullhead City, Ariz. in
2010. In 2012, Gordie went into his insurance agents office for a life
changing review of his policies, where he met his future bride, Jo.

Gordie loved the Lord, his family and friends and his country. He
proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1987 to 1990 and always regretted
not re-enlisting. He has covered almost every mile of our country as a
truck driver, but was very proud driving for DOT Foods with his brand
new Peterbilt they provided for him. Yet his biggest dream was to retire
and simply spend every morning with his bride, sitting on the front
porch drinking coffee and watching the humming birds, as he was a simple
happy man.

He was preceded in death by his proud father, Gordon Ray Leach, in which
he missed dearly; mother-in-law, Martha Blake.

Gordie is survived by his bride, Joanna "Jo" Leach of Fort Mohave,
Ariz.; his mother, Mary Leach of Diamond Bar, Calif.; daughters, Valarie
Leach and Abigail Leach from Bethlehem, Pa., Stephanie Montgomery, Jett
Webber and Emma Dombey of Fort Mohave, Ariz.; and his precious
grandsons, Pryce Siegfried from Bethlehem, Pa. and Petey Badilla from
Fort Mohave, Ariz., all of which he loved and cherished with all his
heart; his sister, Teresa (Chris) Boyles of Columbia, S.C.; brother,
David (Pam) Leach of Canyon Lake, Calif.; brother, Don (Gabby) Leach of
Fort Mohave, Ariz.; sister, Mary Compton of Fort Mohave, Ariz.; brother-
in-law, Daniel Arbuckle-Alford of Yucaipa, Calif.; sister-in-law, Laura
Butler of Ardmore, Okla,; his best friend, Jeff Gregg of Fernley, Nev.;
and many many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

"Gordie, my precious love, it wasn't supposed to be this way, but
apparently God has important work for you to do up there. Thank you for
the time we had together, for your positive words of wisdom, your
unconditional true love. I am a better human being because of you and I
thank you for that. You were truly a blessing to anyone that has loved
and crossed paths with you and have made such a positive impact in all
of our lives. I will always, truly, forever, love you MORE"... Jo
