Leo Lamont Utley, a businessman, <was born January 15, 1951, in Augusta, Georgia and spent his
early years on the family farm in Hephgibah, Georgia and in Washington, DC, part of a warm, loving, close-knit,
successful family. He was a member of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta. He attended public schools
in Washington, DC and Augusta. In 1969, he graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School where he was a
star athlete and one of the top 5 basketball scorers in the State of Georgia. He accepted one of several scholarships
and attended Rock Hill Junior College in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
After leaving RockHill, he entered a plumbing apprenticeship with Plumbers Local #5 in Washington, DC. He later
transferred his apprenticeship to Augusta where he worked at both the Savannah River Site and the King Mill. Follow-
ing the death of his father in 1982, he accepted the responsibility of leading the familys successful business. He founded
Utley Construction,.Inc. and served as its president until his untimely death. In the early 1980s, Leo promoted gospel
groups, including, Pee Wee and the Psalmsters. In 1987, LeO helped form Utley Mechanical, Inc. of Washington,
DC and served as a member of the Board of Directors. He also operated a bail bond business in Augusta. Most
recently, Leo had achieved 8-A Certification status with the U.S. Government for Utley Construction, Inc. which, at
the time of his death, was working on a multi-million dollar project at Ft. Stewart, Georgia.
Leo was family focused, community minded and public spirited. His generosity and kindness to others are legendary
in the community of Richmond and Burke Counties. He fed the hungry, created jobs for the at-risk and under
privileged, built/provided housing for bw income persons - often free of charge. The Richmond County Sheriffs
Department was also beneficiary of his generosity. He donated space in the newly renovated headquarters of Utley
Brothers/gospel promotion/bail bond business which the Sheriffs Department used as a community satellite office. He
also donated his time, talent and materials to numerous church building projects irrespective of their religious affilia-
tion.

Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow
The same God who takes care of you today will take care of you tomorrow.
Either He will shield you from sorroiv
Or give you the unfailing strength to bear it.
So be at peace and put aside your anxious imaginings.
