The family of Leon Leo Beaver is saddened to announce his passing on April 27, 2026, at the age of 83.

Born on January 18th, 1943, to Charles "Leo" and Thelma Beaver, Leon was the eldest son of 11 siblings.

From a young age, he worked alongside his father, developing a remarkable mechanical aptitude. Leon became known as a man who could fix just about anything; "MacGyver-style", and he was always ready to help anyone in need.

A tireless worker, Leon’s long and varied career spanned commercial fishing, painting, carpentry, and construction. He took great pride in a job well done and never shied away from hard labor.

When he wasn’t working, Leon could often be found at the Legion enjoying a laugh with friends and a game of cards. He was particularly fond of crib—a pastime he cherished sharing with his father and continued to enjoy throughout his life.

Leon was a dedicated member of the Anglican Church of Saint Andrew for many years. His funeral service will be held there at 2 Circassion Drive, Dartmouth on June 13th, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

In accordance with Leon’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a burial will take place at a later date.

Leon was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Thelma (nee Boutilier); his first wife, Cynthia (nee Grant); his brothers, Barry and Little Leo; and his sisters, Pearl, Gail, Peggy, Brenda, Cora, and Gladys.

He is survived by his wife, Anne, and his children: Monica (Halifax), Helen (Fox Point), Stephen (Halifax), Erica (Halifax), and Rachael (PEI), as well as his stepdaughter, Kathy. He also leaves behind his sisters, Carol Morash (Norman) and Vina Collins (John).

Leon will be deeply missed by his many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as a large circle of nieces and nephews, cousins and extended family who all held him dear.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Leon’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia.
