My deepest condolences to Leo's family and friends. I was his neighbor when he was a teenager, but was friends with his mother Annie and Martha Pérez. He was incredibly talented and funny. Rest in Peace.
Mis más sentidas condolencias para los familiares y amigos de Leo. Lo conocí cuando él tenía 17 años y yo 5, siendo vecinos por pocos años, pero viéndonos de vez en cuando a lo largo de los años por mi amistad con Martha y Annie. Increíblemente talentoso, simpático y divertido. Descansa en Paz.

Leo was always a joy to work with you, it was always exciting to receive a text or a phone call from you, I knew that was my day to have fun with you and fun doing my job, you’ve always let me be creative with my makeup ideas, we shared many stories together, so many ideas and you taught me so much! It was devastating news for me, I loved you so very much like family to me, I’ve will always cherish our moments together working and talking about our crafts, you’ve will always be the greatest of “light” now you are part of it…
Thanks for so many moments, for so many many greatest images that I’ll will always keep with me and show them proudly and talk about you, you where behind that lens, that light, that composition, that’s how I’ll will always keep you alive…
I’m so sorry for your loss
Hasta la próxima Leo, ojalá trabajemos juntos de nuevo! Te quiero 🤍

I considered Leo to be a true artist. Even when he wasn't getting paid to take pictures, he was always using his artist eyes to see the beauty in things. And take pictures for the love of it. He loved photography and what it could say more than anyone I ever met, and for that I believe he lived a rich, purposeful life. That was inspirational to me.
