Leonardo Ramon Hinkle

Our sweet Leonardo Ramon Hinkle passed away in his sleep Friday, February 16th, 2024 in Oliver, PA at the tragically young age of 11. He was born in Langhorne, PA on July 11th, 2012 and leaves behind a loving mother Stacey L. Milliken and younger sister Lilliana F. Milliken. Amongst the many family members who adored “Leo” were his grandparents, late grandmother Frances E. Bungard, grandfather Scott W. Bungard, and grandmother Robin E. Bungard; His aunts Melody M. Kemler, Ann L. Perez, Maryfrances Bungard, and Samantha A. Bungard; His uncles Ramon A. Perez and John J. Dalesandro; His cousins Kevin R. Bowker, Raymond D. Bowker, Anthony F. Kemler, Joseph D. Kemler, Jeremiah J. Kemler, Cody W. Kemler, Melody A. Belsky, Dion F. Bowker, and Matthew C. Genery; His devoted personal nurse Wesley Hall. 

To say Leo will be missed dearly is a gross understatement as he had a unique way of touching everyone’s heart. Although nonverbal, Leo was talented at expressing his feelings and thoughts of people and things around him. His mother and those closest to him will miss his giggles and the way he used to rest his head on you with eyes full of love. Music touched his soul as he would rock out to Metallica, while The Beatles would calm his moments of frustration. It was the little things in life that mattered most such as the echo of his cheers in a bathroom, scooting across the carpet to gain closeness to his mom and sister or even a car ride on a sunny day. Toys were Leo’s musical instruments and he had no problem letting his audience hear his “chicka chicka” and “clank clank” noises throughout the home, school and doctor’s appointments. With a smile that engaged your heart and a laugh that can brighten your whole day, Leo could lighten any mood without much effort. It will be the cheeky ways he would let you know he found something funny that we will miss the most.  Visitation for family and friends will be held from 10am to noon on Friday February 23, 2024 at SLATER-REGA FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES 730 W. MAIN STREET MT. PLEASANT, PA where services will be held at 12pm with Rev. Tom Shirer officiating.  Please visit Leo's online memorial at rega.slaterfuneral.com to sign the condolence guestbook.
