Memorial to Ian Leaf, 1983 - 2014.

This site is dedicated to the memory of Leafy.

Ian tragically passed away in January 2014. He was passionate about music and played guitar and bass in several bands including My Attorney, Sunday School Adventure Club and backing for Rebecca Jones. In addition to performing in several bands, Ian wrote his own music and produced numerous albums. In his role as media technician at Lord Lawson school he also provided much support and encouragement for the students in their musical activities. His family and friends feel that Youth music perfectly reflects his love for music and the happiness he got from working with young people. We hope that donations in his name will inspire a love of music for future generations.

Still can't believe I'm having to do this - Leafy you were a legend, a gentle soul who I'm so glad I knew. You were an old school friend and I'm sorry for my delay and not being able to attend the funeral - I am currently travelling in New Zealand but my thoughts and prayers were and are with everyone back home. You will be missed I know you are now a shinning star and our loss is heavens gain. Much love Laura Atkinson

Ian the past two weeks have been very surreal. School has been a very sad place and I can't imagine it will ever be the same. I will miss you greatly and hope you realised that I appreciated all that you did for us. Whenever I happen to be In the hall I will look up to the tech balcony and imagine you there dancing, singing and encouraging all of our performers. Thoughts and love to you, your friends and family X
