Obituary for Leonard Kyles
Leonard Kyles, age 59, died March 28, 2022.
*******
Leonard Kyles was born in Monroe County, Mississippi.
Leonard worked in various capacities throughout his life. He was well versed in almost everything, but especially auto mechanics – that was his passion. Formally, he worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in Houston and Tupelo, Mississippi. Prior to moving to Memphis, TN and later Millington, TN, he worked as a Paralegal Office Manager at Wilson A. Wages Law Firm. After working at the law firm for many years, he finally left to pursue his passion and opened an automotive repair shop, called Timeless Automotive. This is where he developed endless relationships, partnerships, and friendships; Leonard never met a stranger. While he was providing updates on the vehicles, he was also giving lifelong lessons. He was intentional about giving good overall service to your mind, body, and spirit.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Handy and Rosie Gates and Clifton and Myrtle Henderson. Also preceded him include his father, Bobby Gates, his sister Barbara Ann Kyles and his brothers, Rickey and Johnnie Kyles.
He is survived by his mother, Mary Louise Williams, his brother, Clifton Williams, his wife, Judy Kyles, his daughter, Tiffany Kyles, his sons, Adrian (Kenia) Kyles and Leonard “Pete” Kyles. His stepchildren include Bryan (Nikki) Wigginton and Robyn Ware. His grandchildren are Ethan, Kamryn, and Alaiya Kyles. Bonus grandchildren include Lakin Wigginton, Raven (Joe) Hamilton, Skyler Flippo, Bryson Wigginton, MiKaila (Taylor) Alexander, Jeffrey, Jr., Marissa, Kamilah, Kiersten and Malia Ware. Great grandchildren include Kobi, Charli and Ari Hamilton, Stella Flippo, Scottie-Jae Ware and Kinsley Alexander. He also leaves a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
