Leonard J. Durrenberger Jr., age 62 of Bellingham, Washington passed away February 21, 2011. He was born September 17, 1948 in Buffalo, New York. But then moved and grew up in Riverdale California. He graduated from California State University, Fresno with his Bachelor of Arts degree. Over the years Leonard attended several other colleges, taking courses in things that interested him such as: languages, music, photography, computers, and one of his greatest loves studying the Bible.
Leonard used his knowledge and skills to help fulfill his life’s journey and greatest passion which was serving God and helping others.
Leonard loved people and never met anyone who was not his friend. He was kind and generous to a fault. You would usually find him giving or sharing what he had with others. In return he was so truly blessed for the very dear and near friends who loved and cared for him. This is the Brother I knew, and whom we loved.
Leonard was preceded in death by his parents Leonard and Angelina Durrenberger and his brother Alan Durrenberger. He is survived by his brothers John Durrenberger, Sumter, South Carolina, Alvin Durrenberger, Hanford, California, and a sister Teresa Deford, Bakersfield, California and many loving family and friends.
