Veyanna Mystique Leonard Obituary (2023 - 2024)

On the morning of October 9th, 2023, the world was graced with a bright, beautiful soul, Veyanna Mystique Leonard. Born in Dayton, Ohio, she was an enchanting little girl who, from the moment she arrived, was loved beyond measure. Her joy-filled spirit was infectious, and her bright smile brought light to all our lives. Veyanna, affectionately known as VeyVey, was a dedicated, smart, and funny little girl who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. She found joy in crawling, standing, bouncing, and playing. She was determined to meet every milestone and never missed one. Veyanna was the "man of the house" and loved getting her way. She had a personality that was larger than life and a heart full of love. Veyanna leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish the memories they made with her. She is survived by her mother, Taisya Bass, her father, Von'Celis Leonard, her brother, Tai’Von Leonard, her grandmother, Clarnita Leonard, her granddad, Virgil Sr., her aunts, Roneenya Byrd, Michelle Byrd, Tionna Bass, Vayla, and La'Thomyss-Angel Leonard, her uncle, VJ, and her cousins, Chrise Williams, Shania, Khalil, Aaliyah, and Theo Bass. Despite her short time on this earth, Veyanna touched the hearts of everyone she met. She loved and was loved in return, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. In the words of Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Veyanna embodied the innocence and love that this verse speaks of, and we find solace in knowing she is in the embrace of our Heavenly Father. As we mourn her departure, we also celebrate her life and the joy she brought to us all. Services have been entrusted to Schlientz & Moore Funeral Home. Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, she is loved beyond words and will be forever missed beyond measure.
