In a prepared statement, Kay Leonard and family said they "would like everyone to know that a celebration of Jan Leonard’s life has been scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, from 6 to 8 pm at Starks Funeral Parlor in Salt Lake City. There will be no viewing, just a gathering to remember Jan and connect with everyone who loved him. A future event to recognize Jan’s industry achievements will be held sometime in the fall in the Salt Lake City area;" more information will be forthcoming once it's available.

The family has asked that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Utah Humane Society (www.utahhumane.org).

An obituary will be appearing in The Salt Lake Tribune (www.sltrib.com).
