Donald R. Leeth Jr.

Donald R. Leeth Jr., age 76, of Dayton, passed away on February 8, 2024. He was born on October 10, 1947 to the late Helen & Donald "Dutch" Leeth.

He was a graduate of Northridge High School, Class of '65. Afterwards, he became an apprentice Tool Maker, and worked as a Journeyman until he retired from Zed Industries in 2016. His faith was important to him, and he was active at Living Word Church, where he volunteered. He developed a love for cars and enjoyed taking his Model A, and later his '46 Lincoln, to car shows. He loved to go camping with his family and friends, anywhere he could park his trailer. His presence will be dearly missed by everyone that knew him.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 26 years, Carol Leeth; his children: Laurie (Ed) Dysart and D. Roger Leeth III; grandchildren: Eddie Dysart, Simon Dysart and Aubrey Leeth; siblings: Linda (Richard) Sponsler, David (Valerie) Leeth, Sandra Leeth and Robert (West) Hardin-Leeth; and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.
