Leonard Montes Remembered After Passing On May 27, 2026, At Age 57 Following Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer
Leonard Montes passed away on May 27, 2026, at age 57 after facing Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
Chelsea Montes created a fundraiser on May 28, 2026, to honor Leonard and support the family with funeral and end-of-life costs.
The fundraiser had raised $1,440 toward a $9K goal through 15 donations.
Leonard worked for 31 years as a machine operator for Horton Automatics and built a life marked by dedication, loyalty, and care.
Loved ones remembered Leonard as a devoted parent to two daughters, a beloved sibling, child, relative, and friend.
In 2023, Leonard received a Stage 1 colorectal cancer diagnosis and recovered, but the cancer returned in early 2026 and reached the lung before doctors found it.
Doctors diagnosed Leonard with Stage 4 colorectal cancer in March 2026, and treatment began before the illness progressed quickly over two months.
The fundraiser lists Chelsea Montes as the organizer in Corpus Christi, TX, and memorial service details will be announced later by family members.
