Leonardo Molina, Jr. was a good man who served his country, education, and community. He loved his family and will be dearly missed.

Leonardo Molina, Jr. died shortly before his 88th birthday. He was born to Leonardo Molina, Sr. and Aurora Molina in Seguin, Texas where he lived the majority of his life.

He served his country for 4 years in the Navy on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge. He also boxed while in the Navy.

Upon his discharge from the Navy, Leonardo went back to school and graduated from Texas Lutheran College with a degree in education in 1962. He was a teacher for the remainder of his career primarily in Seguin ISD where he retired.

In serving his community, he started the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Seguin, TX.  He was also a member of LULAC and the American GI Forum. He remained a Mason until his death. In support of the Hispanic community, he worked hard to get Juan Seguin Elementary declared a historical site.
