About Leon Boeckermann
Like so many among us, Leon had been quietly battling mental health challenges for many years. He battled his illness while going to work every day and exemplifying what it meant to be a great colleague, friend and public servant; Leon was a source of laughter and support to people wherever he went. It was the wish of his family that his mental health struggle and its tragic outcome be acknowledged as a part of his story, for it is through greater understanding of and support for those facing mental health challenges that future loss of life can hopefully be prevented.
