Leonard Bruce Little, 86 years old, of Copley, Ohio, passed away on March 9, 2026. He was born on November 9, 1939 in Akron, Ohio to the late Vernon and Doris (Stidham) Zittle.  Leonard served his country in the US Army and went on to work for the Credit Bureau of Columbus.

Leonard's life was woven into the fabric of the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, where he found not just faith, but a second family. When his health declined, Prince of Peace graciously brought the church family to him. A loyal supporter of Cleveland sports, Leonard could often be found cheering for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Guardians. Leonard was also an avid reader who found adventure and knowledge within the pages of countless books.

He is survived by his brother Bruce Zittle (Edna) and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 49 years, Janice (Hackman) Zittle and his son, Eric Zittle.

A memorial service honoring Leonard's life will be held on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 3355 Medina Road (Rt 18), Medina, OH 44256. Cake and punch reception will follow. A private family burial service with military honors will be held at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Seville where Leonard will be laid to rest with his wife, Janice.
