Luna, Leoncio T. Age 97 of Minneapolis, MN. Born in Lima, Peru. Passed away on April 8th 2025. Preceded in death by wife Gladys; mother Elisa; sisters, Betty, Maria; brother Armando, nephew; David. Beloved father, grandfather, husband, son, family member, & friend. Known for his quiet strength, gentle spirit, and unwavering kindness, he leaves behind a legacy of love and integrity that touched everyone who knew him. In his early years, Leoncio served proudly in the Peruvian Air Force. After relocating to the United States and later becoming a citizen, he built a successful 22-year career with RCA / General Electric. On September 21, 1963, he married the love of his life, Gladys, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in San Francisco, California. Their journey took them from San Francisco to St. Louis, Missouri, and later to Orlando, Florida. Following the birth of their granddaughter Lauren, they settled in Minneapolis to be closer to family. Leoncio called downtown Minneapolis home for over 25 years, where he enjoyed long walks on the Stone Arch Bridge and along the Mississippi riverfront. Though soft-spoken, he had a natural gift for making friends. He navigated the skyways in winter like a seasoned local, always exchanging warm greetings with neighbors. A lover of classical and Peruvian Criolla music, a devoted reader, a fixer of things great and small, and a faithful parishioner of St. Olaf Catholic Church, Leoncio led a full and meaningful life grounded in humility, family, and faith. He is survived by his son Robert, granddaughter Lauren, and many loving nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. Leoncio's memory will live on through the lives he touched, and the quiet, lasting example he set.
