Life story

Chandler Thomas Leo, 17, passed away tragically on August 23, 2022, in his hometown of Amherst, NH.

Born in Manchester, NH on September 19, 2004 he was the son of Michelle Krall and Derek Leo. Chandler was a student at Souhegan High School

and was planning on attending the Gemological Institute of America where he was inspired to follow in the family Jewelry business, While at Souhegan, Chandler was a member of the Boys Lacrosse Team and was loved by all his teachers, friends, and everyone who came to know him. He had an adventurous spirit and was an old soul full of compassion for others. Chandler was determined to live life his way and always had a plan. He was a natural when it came to establishing himself as a charismatic member of the Bellman's Buying Group team. He loved creating tik-toks and using other creative ideas to help support the business. Chandler was always a respectful, confident, and well-rounded young man. He enjoyed listening to all genres of music from bands like the Doors and Red Hot Chili Peppers to old school hip hop like Nas and Biggie and anything n between like Jimmy Buffet. Chandler was self-teaching himself the guitar and still trying to nail that riff from Iron Maiden, Run to the Hills, which Mom can still hear coming from the attic. Chandler loved fashion. He enjoyed fine Jewelry and sapphires. He was also a sneakerhead who loved his Jordan 5's and always eager for new drops. Sometimes, it was something as simple hip hop tees or sweaters with his bonus mom, a Hawaiian shirt, or just a fun pair of socks and who could forget, a pair of Pit Vipers. It was an embodiment of Chandlers free nature. Chandler was never afraid to try new things, whether it was new food or making new friends, he always `knew a guy" to help. He also had passions for skiing, hiking, mountain biking. working out, and cars.

Above all, Chandler knew most importantly family came first. He loved being a big brother, and always kept his promises to his sister and secrets for his brothers. Chandler always made time to help family and friends. We may never know why Chandler was taken from us SO early, but we would all like to think that the impact that Chandler has left on so many of us will continue to shine through all that loved him.

Please carry Chandlers confidence, love for life, and inquisitive nature along with you on your journey and whenever you're in doubt or scared to try something new - Do it for Chandler.
