Todd Leach, 50, of Sharon, passed away on Sunday, August 31, 2025, in UPMC Jameson Hospital, New Castle.

Todd was born on January 2, 1975, in Youngstown, OH, a son of Paul and Wanda (Hughey) Leach. He was a 1993 graduate of Hickory High School and completed culinary school in Pittsburgh, PA.

Following culinary school, he worked as a chef at the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh. He also worked at many local restaurants, including the Sharon Country Club, the Tara and Jess's.

Todd had a musical talent and in his younger years played in a local band. He will always be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humor. He could make anyone laugh, no matter what the situation.

He is survived by his father, of Hubbard; a sister, Amy Leach, of Hermitage; two nephews, who were his inspiration, especially during his illness, Bryce and Mason Leach; an aunt, Mary Reichart and her husband, John, of Hermitage; and four cousins, Maggie Reichart, William Hughey, III, Scott Hughey and Andrew Hughey.

Todd was preceded in death by his mother; his maternal grandparents, Bill and Elsie Hughey; and his precious cat, Carl.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

Interment: Oakwood Cemetery, Hermitage.
