Wallace Gregory “Greg” Leonard of Floyd passed away on November 26, 2025. Greg was born on February 28, 1952 in Mt. Airy, NC. He is preceded in death by his parents, Wallace Walker Leonard and Betty Jo Roberson.

He is survived by sons, Quentin Kelby Leonard (daughter-in-law Amber) and Seth Thomas Leonard; daughter, Brittany Leonard Scott (son-in-law Gary Jr.); step-son, Bobby “Rob” Baron (daughter-in-law Mary); five granddaughters will miss him: Paisley, Harper and Emery Leonard, and Anna and Vada Scott, along with Bobby’s five children; siblings, Kent Roberson Leonard and Byron Ethan Leonard (nephews Kaden and Cole), Ava “Marena” James (niece Emily and nephew Neil), SuAnn Walton (brother-in-law Keith and niece Ila Jo).

After serving in the US Army in the 70s, he received the National Defense Service Medal. He often shared stories of Austria and his stay at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Greg was known and respected for his strong work ethic, a lifetime as a skilled timber cutter, and appraiser of timber tracts in VA and NC. Since a child, he knew his way around a sawmill and all aspects of logging. He retired, self-employed from the timber industry.

On his rare day of leisure, he enjoyed car races and bluegrass music. He had a heart for the elderly and would randomly show up to see if they had any needs. Of course, he was thankful for his Lord Jesus Christ and took peace in knowing that his eternal life is now resting in his grace. Greg loved intensely, yet privately, by selflessly providing and maintaining a masterful ownership of responsibility.
