David Michael

Leto

David (Ringi) Michael Leto, 57, passed away on November 2nd, 2026, born on April 4, 1969, in Key West, Fl., the son of Peter and Linda Leto. He was a father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, nephew, and cousin.

David was preceded in death by his father Peter Leto and his mother Linda Leto. He leaves behind his beloved daughters, Helena (Greg) Hernquist and Ariana Corsi, who will forever carry his love and memories deep within their hearts. In addition to his daughters, David is survived by his brother, Robert (Jessica) Goens, and his sister, Angelina (Robert) Dean, whom he loved dearly. 

His most treasured blessings included his grandchildren, Hayley Lieberum, Austin Lieberum, Cody Hernquist, and Aria Rojas, who brought him tremendous joy, just as he brought each of them joy. The lessons taught and memories he leaves behind will never be forgotten and carried with each of them as they grow. David also leaves behind his beloved nieces and nephews: Christopher, Peter, Krystle, Rebecca, Taylor, Mary, Abbie, Khloe, Tyler, and Robbie; his uncle Davy, aunt Mae, aunt Jan, many other aunts, and cousins Angelo, Tommy, David, Sonya, Andrea, Steven, and many more. He will also be deeply missed by his loving church family and countless friends. David enjoyed every moment of living, working, and raising a family in Key West.

He was a man who found purpose in serving others. He believed everyone deserved a second chance and a helping hand. Whether he was coaching youth softball, spending hours delivering packages for UPS, lifting up his fellow church members, making memories with his daughters or teaching his grandkids life lessons, he always devoted himself to helping others. He was more than a coach; he was a mentor, an encourager, and someone who gave his time and heart to the kids he worked with. He was always quick to forgive, find the good in others, share a message of love and hope. David’s faith in the Lord above was an essential part of the man he was. His beloved church, Glad Tidings, was a second home. David found great joy in delivering food to seniors every Sunday after service, leading the men’s ministry, and serving as the sound room technician. Whether through a simple act of kindness, a helping hand, or his willingness to serve, David lived out his faith by showing up for others.

He reminded us all we were never alone; we were forgiven and always loved. David’s legacy is not measured only by the years he lived, but by the lives he touched, the children he coached, the people he served, and the family and friends who loved him. His presence will be deeply missed, but the memories he created and the love he gave will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His service to God and love for all will remain in our hearts. 

He joins his beloved dogs through the years, Skylar, Kila, Sadie, Kasey, Josie and Blaze. We know he is in their loving arms now. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing he is home with the Lord and reunited with his parents. He will never be forgotten.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate David’s life on: Sunday, November 22nd at 3:00 PM Glad Tidings Church 1209 United Street.

The service will be live streamed on the church’s website. A time of fellowship will follow the service at the church. Flowers may be sent directly to Glad Tidings Church.

Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
