Leonard Sabia Iii

Leonard Sabia III passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on August 6, 2012 from complications due to brain cancer. Lenny is survived by his wife, Amy, two daughters, Molly and Nora, and nephew, Evan. He will also be remembered by his mother, Elizabeth Lioi, father, Leonard Sabia Jr, two brothers, Robert (Susan) and John (Johanne), and sister, Denise, as well as the many other family and friends he has.

At age 51, Lenny passed too soon, still fully in charge of living life. He traveled to 49 states, four continents and made lifelong friends wherever he went. Lenny was born in Regensburg, Germany on October 4, 1960 and graduated high school in Norwalk, Connecticut in 1978 and went on to graduate junior college in Northern California. He finally settled in Kent, WA after his marriage to Amy in 1990, quickly followed by the births of Molly and Nora.

Lenny was one of those rare people that made you feel like it was never about him, but always about you. He was a full on man but soft and very considerate at the same time. In addition to family, Lenny loved traveling, sports (49er fan) and really good food. He will be remembered most for his great pancakes, his ability to come up with one liners, his kindness and generosity to all, and absolutely his humor. His family will be holding a memorial on Friday, August 17th at 11:00 am at St. Stephen's the Martyr in Renton.
