Today, we join countless families across Chicago in mourning the loss of Spencer Leak Jr.
Spencer served families with compassion, dignity, and grace during some of life's most difficult moments. He was known not only for his professional excellence, but for his generosity, often going above and beyond to ensure families and even strangers were cared for with respect, even in their hardest hours. His life reflected a deep commitment to service and to God's people.
His family's longstanding presence in the 6th Ward and across
Chicago has brought comfort to generations, and that legacy of care continues to be felt throughout our community.
Today, our hearts are especially with the Leak family. The same family that has supported so many others through grief is now facing a heartbreaking loss of its own. We surround them with love, praying for strength in this heavy season.
On behalf of the residents of the 6th Ward, we extend my deepest condolences to the Leak family and all who loved Spencer.
May his memory be a blessing, and may he rest in eternal peace.
