The family of Leon “Buddha” Girard, 48, are sad to say he went to be with his loving son Zachary on Thursday July 18, 2013. He passed peacefully during his sleep at his home.

Born in Key West, FL on January 11, 1965, he was the son of Philip and Carol (Bell) Girard.

Buddha was one amazing man. He was a very loving, caring, and thoughtful person. Buddha was loved by all who knew him and touched so many lives by his generosity. He will be greatly missed by all. Buddha was also a former member of True Order Motorcycle Club.

He is predeceased by his loving son Zachary Girard.
