Odin Arthur Leachman

After a long and courageous battle, Odin Arthur Leachman, age 10, laid down his shield and passed peacefully in his sleep at London Health Sciences Centre on January 25, 2026.

Odin was the deeply loved son of Tara Leachman and Brandon Roorda, and cherished grandson of Sherry Leachman and Richard and Eva Roorda. He was predeceased by his papa, Brian Leachman.

Odin will be deeply missed by his vader Ryan Leibold, his aunt Lorelei, uncles Dan and Jamie, cousins Jimmy, Jacob, Cassandra, and Drew, and by the many friends who walked beside him. He was also dearly loved by his loyal companions Waggy, Coco, and Gaia.

Fierce, wild, and full of life, Odin loved baseball and hockey, ripping around on his dirt bike, catching air at the skatepark, and chasing anything fast. Roller coasters thrilled him. Snowmobiling with his dad, biking with friends, gaming on his PC, and sharing time with those he loved filled his days. He lived boldly, with fire in his spirit and motion in his soul.

A private family service will be held in the spring.

Donations to Ronald McDonald House Charities, Wingham Minor Hockey, and Wingham Minor Ball would be appreciated.

Donation cheques may be sent to Box 199 Blyth, ON N0M 1H0.
