My condolences to you Donna, Melissa and Kristina for the passing of your husband,friend, confidant and one great father. I remember meeting Chris at your wedding where he was sternly warned to take good care of my friend which he certainly did. He always have that smile that makes you want to smile. The love you showed for Donna was real and true as was for those two beautiful daughters, everyone saw this. I remembered you both visited us in Florida where his laughter filled the house and all the jokes he told. Thank God for those times and all the other times I laughed with him. I will always remember the very last time I saw you and how funny your were when I tried to convince you that Donna and myself drove all over long island in crazy rainstorm to find you some sugar cane that you wanted, as I am writing this memory I have a smile on my face. Sleep in peace my friend.

I was so glad I got to see you two years ago, and reminisced on our time growing up in Jamaica together. You and your brothers were truly my ‘brothers’. Our Grandmother spoiled us all rotten, and growing up running around her home and property ‘Pleasantville’ was always on my mind. Every time I went home I’d go and visit her house and yours, remembering hiding under the house and the ‘tuff’ bed when we played hide and seek. Even when you moved to Kingston, walking to your house and listening to you guys play music was so much fun. It was always good to spend time with my brothers.
When last we spoke, you told me you were at peace with ‘this’ which made it easier to accept what was happening. I will love and miss you dearly. I know Donna and the girls will miss you more than me, but I believe they will be in good hands.
No more pain for you. Rest in peace with Uncle Bertie, and Michael.

Chris you put up a brave fight, you gave it your all but it’s time for you to rest. You have earned your wings and you are one of GOD’s Angel looking down on Melissa, Krissy and Donna.
We will miss your humble and gentle spirit, your jokes/stories and your hearty laughter (never saw him upset)
Melissa, Krissy take comfort in knowing Dad is looking down with a smiling face ever so proud of you.
My dear sister/friend Donna in many of our conversations we would say “who would have known” but GOD knew it was time for him to earn his wings. So cherish every memory of Chris. Take comfort in knowing he loved you.
“In that sweet by and by you will meet on that beautiful shore”

There’s a quote that says “Lives are like rivers , eventually they go where they must, not where we want them to “. Chris left us far too soon and we will miss his warm, friendly smile and personality, but we will forever cherish the memories of him. May the lord watch over his family and may his soul Rest In Peace.
Sharon and Keith Ellis

The McLeod family is one of the most welcoming, sweet and caring families you will ever find. I say that knowing first hand as I’ve spent precious time with this beautiful family! Not just because they’re my family either, I’ve seen them open their door to everyone who wanted to join when celebrating holidays, birthdays, special events, or just the occasional BBQ at their home. If you needed anything they would find a way to accommodate you. They treated everyone like family. As we got older and busier with life, they became less frequent. I missed those family gatherings a lot.
Uncle Chris wasn’t a man of many words during those times. He didn’t have to be his presence was known when he stepped in a room or talked. He was a gentle guy with a big heart. His smile and laugh were contagious.
The things he loved, he cherished and I picked up on a few over the years. Family was number one. He worked hard and when he was needed was always there by Aunty Donna side to help as well. I have so many great memories working with them, I couldn’t even begin to tell you. He also loved buying his gadgets and toys offline, and I remember one day the Ups guy dropped a package off. I let him know it was for him, he then said “ I hope your Aunty doesn’t see the next one” that was probably a frequent thing lol. He loved the NY Jets a team we both shared in that heartache over the years lol. He loved watching car racing mostly formula one early Sunday mornings. He enjoyed a good movie, especially comedy like myself. I would be in the living room downstairs and hear Uncle Chris upstairs in his bed cracking up over a movie, his laugh was that loud throughout the house lol. I would send Krissy or Mel to find out what he’s watching so we could put it on too.
Even though your no longer here, those memories and so many more I will carry with me forever. We can’t get back the time, but the memories never go away!

R.I.P Uncle Chris. You put up a great fight. It was definitely hard to find out you were gone. You were one of the sweetest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I will always remember the times we would go on jobs to help out Aunty Donna with tableware. We were always cracking jokes and having a good time on the road. I will always miss the times we would watch sports, eat good food, and spend time with the family. Thanks for all you have done for me and the family. You loved Aunty Donna and the girls unconditionally. You would do anything for them. I will be rooting for your Jets for you. Hopefully, they can win the Super Bowl just for you. Heaven definitely gained another angel. Til we meet again. Love you

Will miss the family time we spent in backyard BBQing during the summer. Was one of your favorite times, enjoying food, talking sports & telling jokes. You were always welcoming All to your home and as Mikey says "never saw you upset ". You fought the good fight, Godspeed! RIP Cristobal

R.I.P Uncle Chris, your fight with cancer is over and it’s a sad day for us on earth. But God gained himself a true angel up above. I will always remember our times spent and talks while on the road going to events. We always had a blast and nothing but good times laughing and telling jokes. We had many passionate talks about our love for the NY Jets, who consistently broke our hearts but we continued to watch and be fans. Anytime I watch them I will always think of you! To my cousins stay strong for Aunty D love y’all!

I met Christopher McLeod aka “Sleepy” in the early 90’s at his brother Mike’s garage in Elmont, at the time I was doing home improvement jobs, it was slow then . Sleepy encouraged me to join him, his brothers Mike , Wayne and father “Bertie” in the transportation business. It was never a dull moment, I will always remember the Sunday morning breakfast at IHOP while waiting for school to get out, our summer job going to the “mountains”, working the airport, waiting passengers that were far and few between. Sleepy would say to me quite often “ Hey Mikey a eeediot ting dis, me a go home” . Chris was like an older brother to me, always there with advice and a helping hand, he was a gentle giant, never saw him upset. I left the “transportation business “ but we spoke often, I remember him saying how lucky he was to find a woman like Donna. “ Hey Mikey dem nuh mek woman like Ms. Rose nuh more yu nuh .” He loved his daughters & when he would disagree with them sometimes, he would say “ A wah do dem kids now a days “ When Melissa got the job at my Company he was so proud of her . He told me how Kristina was a “fish” she was a life guard ..lol. He loved his mom Jean , he often spoke about her and went to “ check up pan Jean daily . When he bought his dream car, “The Mustang”, he asked me to help him with it & I never hesitated, it was while working on the Mustang that Chris told me about his diagnosis. I fought back the tears ‘cause “ big man nuh cry.” He said he accepted it and he worried for Donna and the kids, he often said to me “ Mikey yu a di only friend me have.”
I will miss you my friend, my big brother, hail Mike and Bertie for me until we meet again

I am so incredibly sorry for the McLeod family’s loss. Losing someone as special as your father can feel incredibly overwhelming. There is a prayer that is said by my family during these times, which states that we belong to God and we one day return to God. Heaven received an angel. Melissa, I remember how much your face would light up when you’d speak about your dad. He was such a gift, and I will always remember him as the jolly, friendly face that welcomed me to your home. I feel lucky to have met him and to have been touched by his smile. He was one-of-a-kind, and loved you guys so much. I can see how great of a person he was because of how amazing you and your sister were raised to be. You are a reflection of him, which means that although his body has left this world, his spirit is eternal and lives within you, your sister, and your mother. I am so proud of your dad, who was so brave and fought his illness head on. May he be at peace now. May he be free from his pain now. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you, Krissy, and your mother. May God give your family strength to endure these rough waters. Praying for you all. Please know that you aren’t alone. I’m here for you whenever you need me, and I won’t pass on the opportunity to do what I can for you and your family. Sending you so much love and healing ❤️❤️

When we lose a person as kind and good as Chris was, we realize how unfair life can be, but we know that he will never be forgotten. He will always stay in our hearts, and he will always be a part of our life. We will never stop thinking about him, missing him, and loving him. Not even loss or separation can make us forget him. If anything, Chris will be remembered and honored even more. He was a person, who has truly touched all our lives with his soft spoken voice and his contagious laugh and his gentle giant ways. He was a man who loved his family and spoke often to me about his daughters Melissa and Kristina and how blessed he was by them. He adored his wife Donna and would always offer her a helpful hand with her Party Linen business. He was truly a gentleman. I have had the honor of being his friend for quite a few years now and know of no husband that would work so hard for his wife. Chris never complained about putting on chair covers or picking up dirty linens at 1am, he just greeted me with his warm smile and open arms. I will miss him deeply. But I am also blessed now to have him as another angel in heaven to watch over all of us.
With sincere sympathy and much love. Ellen

Happy Heavenly 61st Birthday Dad! I missed you extra on your birthday!
Some of my fondest memories with my Dad come from our family trips to Jamaica. We have traveled as the fantastic four, we have brought cousins and friends to join as well. Dad was always so excited to drive us around his country visiting family, his former home, our favorite places to eat, the lovely beaches, and creating new adventures as a family each time. We used to spend Easters in Negril, collecting starfish in the ocean and setting them free again. We would hold onto Dad as he drove us across the ocean on jet skis. We would roar with laughter and take naps on the beach. Dad loved eating coconut jelly and drinking the water.
Negril, Ocho Rios, Retreat St Mary, Kingston, Maypen,and Alligator Pond were some of our favorites to revisit each time. Dad dreamed of having grandchildren one day that he could haul to Jamaica and show them our country through his eyes. I wanted that for him.
I know our first trip back without him will be flooded with so many memories. I’ll eat some Tastee patties, take a trip to little Ochie and look up at the stars from a beach in Negril and know he is there with me in spirit always.
I love you Dad forever and always.
