Leonardo Hurtado Meza, age 75, of Sheboygan, died on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at his home. He was born in Mexico City, Mexico on November 6, 1944, the son of the late Juan and Veronica Meza Hurtado.
Leonardo grew up in Mexico City and attended local schools there. In 1950 he immigrated to the United States with his family. He was employed at Lakeside Foods for over fifteen years and then retired from Kleentest Products in 2002.
Leonardo loved going to the casino and was an avid Green Bay Packer fan also. He was known as the family taxi, making sure that all his nieces and nephews got to where they needed to go, especially school. Leonardo was a caring, honest, giving person and was always willing to help anyone.
