Johnny Bruce Leinaar

Johnny Bruce Leinaar, age 68, of Dowling, Michigan went to be with his Heavenly Father on November 11, 2022.

Johnny was born on August 15, 1954, in Hastings, Michigan, the son of Boyd and Billie Leinaar.  He was a 1972 graduate of Delton Kellogg High School.

Johnny was a carpenter for most of his life and a truck driver for 20 years.  Johnny could build anything he imagined including two log cabins, dulcimers, birdhouses, and so much more.  For the past couple of years, he enjoyed tinkering on his tiny house, working with his son, John, and spending time with his kids and grandkids.  Johnny saw the true beauty in everything and everyone.  Simply, Johnny was one of a kind and will be truly missed.
