Roland Leonard

Roland Leonard, November 25, 1949 - September 5, 2025 Orlando, FL

 Roland Leonard, known affectionately as “Cher ami”, passed away peacefully on September 5th 2025, in Orlando, FL. Dad was born on November 25th 1949, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Marie Saintelia Milord and Sylvain Leonard. He was raised in Léogâne, Haiti, and is the eldest of many siblings. 

Roland proudly worked at the Banque de la République d’Haiti for thirty-five years from 1980 to 2015. He was the backbone of his family. He always ensured that his family, friends, and even strangers got access to basic needs. He always went above and beyond to ensure the welfare of those around him, many times providing employment opportunities. 

He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 35 years, Altagrace Jean-Gilles Leonard, whom he always referred to as “Mon amour”. He leaves behind his doting daughter, Brittany, who remained by his side. His only grandson, Gavin, and his son, Stanley. He also leaves behind many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins. 

He will be greatly missed. Our family and this world will never be the same without his amazing ability to make anyone laugh, his warm smile, his caring spirit, and his generous heart.
