MEMORIAM
Michael
Stephen McLeod
1964 - 2017
Naples, FL
Michael Stephen McLeod, 52, passed away on Friday, November 17, 2017.
He leaves a tremendous void in the lives of so many people especially
his best friend and devoted wife of 30 years, Michelle. His gentle,
caring, intelligent, patient, and fun-loving spirit will be missed by
the many lives he touched throughout his life. For those who knew him,
life will never be the same.
Michael was born on December 21, 1964 in Evanston, Illinois. Throughout
his life, Michael had many notable accomplishments.
Through hard work, he put himself through college and graduated with an
accounting degree from the University of Central Florida. He began his
career with Centex Homes in Orlando, FL and shortly thereafter was
transferred to Naples, FL. At Centex, he blossomed into a successful
business professional and rose to the rank of Chief Financial Officer of
Centex Homes' regional operations. In recent years, he and his close
friend and business partner, Tom Wegwert, owned and managed their own
successful home building company.
During his life in Naples, Michael was very active in the church,
serving in various capacities such as a youth and marriage mentor,
treasurer, and elder.
In his 40s, Michael began to run marathons and became a competitive
triathlete. In his 50s, he completed a half ironman.
In addition to running, cycling and swimming, Michael loved boating and
being out on the water. That is where he felt most free and alive.
He is survived by his wife, Michelle, his brothers Don (Patti) and Paul
(Grace), his niece and nephews and his mother, Erika.
A memorial service will be held at 5:00 pm on Michael's birthday,
December 21, 2017 at The Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club.
Michael had a tremendous love for animals. In lieu of flowers, memorial
contributions may be made to the Humane Society in Michael's honor. For
