Richard Lamarr Leigh Ii

RICHARD LAMARR LEIGH II was born in Columbus, OH on June 29, 1989,
to Richard L. and Diana M. Leigh.
As a young child, Richard attended Bible Way Church of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. He gave his life to the Lord and was baptized at age eight years old
at Rhema Christian Center. He spent much of his teen years participating
with friends in the youth programs at The Vineyard on Cooper Rd.
Richard’s professional accomplishments include being a Supervisor at TelePerformance, Technical Administrator for Original Design International and
DLM Consulting Group, Support Staff and Driver for Maranatha End Time
Ministries Annual Fall Retreat, and Executive Board Member of Hutchins
and Associates Realty.
Richard loved people and was a popular personality wherever he went. He
would spend holidays delivering Meals On Wheels to the elderly and
volunteering at the homeless shelter. He would often spend vacations
working with his school, Gahanna Christian Academy, on mission projects
and was a favorite with the young people when he spent his summer at an
orphanage in Mexico where he shared with the children how he too
understood and knew the hurt of losing a parent at a very young age.
Richard’s list of interests was extensive. Among them was a love of video
games, music, technology and the pride of being the best cook and the
smartest person in the family. But those who knew him well, knew that his
favorite passion was his love of dogs. He would collect paper for the puppies
at the pound and was” the “go to person” when his friends needed a dog
sitter, Wuggles being his “hands down” favorite.
Richard recently accepted his call to ministry and was co-authoring a book
with his mother which will be released later this year.
