Leon Bronk

Leon Francis Bronk, 59, of Winona, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 30, 2021, at his home.

He was born on November 1, 1962, in Winona to Franklin and Dorothy (Klosowski) Bronk of Winona, and was a graduate of Winona Senior High School.  Leon was united in marriage with Mary (Rothering) Bronk on January 29, 1994, at St. Mary’s Parish in Winona.

He was employed at St. Mary’s College as a groundskeeper and as an auto body specialist at Lewiston Auto for 26 years.  Leon was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Winona.

Leon will be remembered for his love of the outdoors where he enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping. His greatest joy in life was his family and loved having get-togethers, barbeques, and he especially cherished the time that he spent with his siblings, step-children, and grandchildren.
