Alexander Paul Leamon, 23, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. He was born on April 11, 2002, at the Monroe Clinic Hospital to Kimberly Leamon and Gregory Farmer.

Alex graduated from Lena-Winslow High School in 2020. He was a part of the baseball and football programs where he was a part of the 2017 and 2019 Le-Win State Football Championship teams.  He had a passion and love for agriculture. He went on to study agronomy at Highland Community College before attending his ag pilot program. He graduated from Ag-Flight Pilot Training in Bainbridge, Georgia in 2023. He was a member of the Rock River Flyers Club.

He was employed by True Vine Landscaping and was the proud owner and operator of Leamon Aviation. Alex loved being outdoors. He found joy in hunting, fishing, boating, golfing and playing with his dog, Bo. He traveled coast to coast and to different countries with his family and friends. Looking forward to each new adventure.

Alex touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.  His quiet confidence, warm smile, and generous spirit were among the many gifts God gave him to share.  He was often the calm in the storm and a bright light in so many of our lives.  Words cannot truly capture the beauty of his soul.  He cherished every moment spent with those he loved- whether playing games, sharing stories, exploring new adventures, simply relaxing together or enjoying a catnap.  For Alex, it was togetherness and conversations that mattered most.  Though our time with him was far too short, he leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, kindness, and joy.  He truly was the BEST!

Alex always looked forward to hanging out with his friends when he got the chance. His goofy, loving and bright personality attracted many people.  Alex even became a "Big Brother" to many kids he had met through the years. He knew no stranger, making friends wherever he went. He was the life of the party and had a smile that would light up a room.

Alex was deeply loved and cherished by his parents, girlfriend, brother, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents, and many friends who proudly claimed him as their own. We will forever hold tight and be thankful for the 23 years filled with memories, stories, photos, and videos.  We will continue to love, celebrate and honor Alexander Paul every single day for the rest of our lives.  He will forever be ours.
