Leon's journey began Tuesday, June 28, 1977, at Brotman Memorial Hospital
         in Culver City.  He was the only child born to the union of Pamela & Leon Knight
         Sr.

         Leon accepted Christ at an early age.  He was actually the motivation that got his
         family back into regular fellowship.

         Leon's  early  education  began  in  Long  Beach,  CA.,  attending  Webster
         Elementary, Stephens Middle School  &  Poly HS.  After the family’s relocation
         to  Redlands,  CA  his  Junior  year;  He  completed  his  education  attending
         Redlands HS and San Bernardino Valley College.

         Leon was a sportsman, playing baseball, running track, wrestling but his favorite
         was football along with being an avid Clipper fan.

         His journey was hindered due to a diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of
         25.  It  was  a  tremendous  uphill  battle  with  a  steady  decline  in  his  health-due  to
         having the most aggressive forms of the disease.

         Leon was a member of Life Changing Ministries until his residency at Long Beach
         HealthCare Center; whom I'd like to thank for providing his care. It takes a Village,
         and you were a great part of it.  We’ve met a lot of wonderful people along the way
         and have a newfound respect for the healthcare profession.


         Leon survived  Coronavirus, testing positive twice; numerous hospital stays and
         surgeries. He was a true trooper and a fighter till the end.


         Leon left behind this earthy vessel on Tuesday, February 28.  He leaves to cherish
         his memories: Mother Pamela Newton, Dad- Leon Sr (LA), Brandon Knight (son),
         Kasondra Knight (sister LA); Aunts: Janet & Anne (Foster); Uncles Nelson Jr (TX)
         &  Henry;  Cousins  Deonte  Gilmer,  Kiyomi  &  Meiko  Hall,  Margaret  Adkins,
         Michelle Patterson, and a host of other relatives & loved ones.
