Leo John Scopino Jr.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Leo John Scopino, Jr., 78, passed away on August 31, 2025, in Boca Raton, Fla. Born on April 27, 1947, in Hialeah, Fla., Leo lived a life marked by dedication to service, deep family ties, and a spirited personality that left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Leo proudly served his country in the United States Navy, stationed in Rhode Island. Following his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career in law enforcement that spanned over three decades. His commitment to public safety and justice reflected his strong sense of duty and integrity.

Beyond his professional life, Leo had a passion for collecting. He was an avid admirer of Frank Frazetta’s artwork and took great joy in curating collections of coins and baseball cards. He also enjoyed playing softball, embracing both the camaraderie and competition of the game.

Leo was known for his generous heart and unwavering love for those around him. Though he could be a self-proclaimed “pain in the butt,” it was always with a twinkle in his eye and a spirit that brought laughter and warmth to every room he entered.

He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Kim Scopino and her husband Joshua Ash; grandson Ryan Scopino and Ryan’s wife Shannon; great-grandsons Curtis Scopino and Alec Scopino; daughter-in-law Pam Scopino; grandson Leo Scopino and granddaughter Lilli Scopino.

Leo was preceded in death by his beloved wife Jeanne Scopino, his son Travis Scopino, and grandson Joshua Scopino.

There will be no Funeral service. That’s what he wanted. There will be a graveside burial at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Augusta to be announced later.

May Leo’s memory bring comfort to those who knew him and serve as a reminder of a life lived with heart, humor, and unwavering devotion.
