He was a joy to be around and the life of any party. His amazing ability to read the room and uplift spirits was next level. You'd usually catch him providing a substantial history lesson surrounding hip-hop or sharing his amazing vocals as he recited his version of an R&B classic! Leith's love for music, food and creative ability was greatly appreciated. Usually any rhyme he spat included, 'I'm C-O-O-L Leith" and ending with "FaSho". That's how you knew bars were to follow. Leith absolutely loved being a father and was extremely proud of the accomplishments his children have obtained thus far. He was a protector and motivator at all times.

Leith made a living being a leader in any organization he aligned Iris skill set with, His passion for food and and exceptional customer service landed him multiple roles as a General Manager for well-known establishments throughout Iris career, It was through those roles that afforded him the opportunity to drive impact through enhancing the customers experience and driving the bottom line.
