Johnny D. Leininger
It is with deep sadness we share the passing of our father, Johnny D Leininger. John was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Born in Bellingham, WA on July 19, 1941, he lived the entirety of his life in Whatcom County. He loved this area and shared many fond memories of how it had changed over the years. This was where he found the love of his life, Linda, and they raised their family. John was dedicated to his family and took great joy in spending time with them whenever possible.
John was, and continues to be, cherished by so many. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, as well as dedicated 49er, Dodger, and Duke fan. He loved animals and enjoyed time in nature as a young man on the farm he grew up on in Custer. John deeply loved his family and he was deeply loved in return.
He is preceded in death by his parents, John Leininger and Donna Goldie Leininger; his wife Linda Leininger; and daughter Michelle Leininger. He is survived by his sister Patricia (Doyle) Bennink; children Jason (Callie) Leininger, Chris (Breanna) Leininger, Nickolas (Heidi) Leininger; grandchildren Jaydin, Julianna (Dakota), Annabelle, Jonathon, Ella, Hailee, Sloane, Riley, Chase, Jayden , great-grandchildren, Carter, Zyller, Sylvanus, Izanami, Nova Jo, sister, nieces and nephews.
