Blake Leonti

Blake Daniel Leonti, 27, of Hickory passed away Monday, November 1, 2021 at Atrium Health Main CMC. Born November 2nd, 1993 he was the son of Howard Eugene Leonti and Diana Ellis Leonti. Blake will be remembered for being hilarious but also for his love for life. His heart matched his size and he never met a stranger. Everyone who met Blake immediately fell in love with him and it was likely because of his confident personality and compassion for others; he would do anything for anyone. Blake loved being a big brother, he adored his "Brodie fo life". If you were a friend of Blake's, you were a friend for life.

He was an automotive technician for what seems like since birth; he has always loved cars and loved anything fast.

In addition to his parents he is survived by his wife Samantha Gravley Leonti; a brother Connor Leonti of Newton; grandparents Michael and Mary Monte of Hickory; and his beloved furbaby Moose.

The Celebration of Life will be 12:00 pm Thursday, November 4th 2021 at Jenkins Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Jerome Walker officiating.

The family will receive friends from 11:00 am-12:00 pm Thursday, November 4th, 2021 at Celebration Center of Jenkins Funeral Home.
