Leo Hudson Rahzi Louverture

Leo passed away on April 26, 2025, at home, surrounded by his mother, Jessie Louverture, and his father, Benjamin Louverture. Leo was loved every day by his family, including his big brother, Ben.

Leo began having seizures at 5 weeks old and received a terminal diagnosis of an extremely rare genetic condition shortly after. While his time on earth was brief, Leo’s life was lived to the fullest. He was loved by countless family and friends who made every moment with him count. He brought joy to everyone who knew him, and even in his death brought hope, giving the gift of life through heart valve and tissue donation and contributed to life-saving research that will help other children facing the same condition, to which there is currently no treatment.

The family would like to include a special thank you to the Alive Hospice team and Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, including Dr. Carson, Dr. Ibach, and all the incredible nurses who provided so much support, kindness, and love to Leo and his family during their time there.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you bring a toy or children’s book to the service, which will be donated to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Leo’s memory. For an idea of items needed, here is a list of the highest priority needs currently: https://tinyurl.com/VanderbiltNeeds
