Daniel Leskovac, 77, of McDonald, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 13, 2026 in the comfort of his home.
He was born on April 7, 1949, a son to the late Michael and Mildred (Vuletich) Leskovac.
Daniel proudly served 4 years in the United States Army, demonstrating patriotism and courage at an early age. Following his military service, he began a long and distinguished career in law enforcement. He devoted 29 years to the McDonald Police Department, culminating in his role as Police Chief before retiring in 2001. His leadership and dedication left a lasting impact on the community he served. After retiring from the force, Daniel continued his professional journey with Fisher Auto Parts, where he worked for thirteen years.
Outside of his career, Daniel was involved with the Fish and Game Club of Vienna, the ARC of Girard and was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Niles. He found joy and camaraderie at the Niles Wellness Center, and his hobbies included an enthusiasm for firearms, but most importantly he cherished the time spent with his grandchildren.
Daniel is survived by his sons Jeffrey Leskovac, alongside his wife Jennifer, and Andrew Leskovac. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild, who were a significant source of happiness throughout his life.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathleen (Minehart) Leskovac, who he married on June 21, 1969 and passed away on June 17, 2024, and his three brothers, David, William, and Thomas Leskovac; and a granddaughter, Samantha Leskovac.
The family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday, April 21st from 4-6 PM at Blackstone Funeral Home in Girard with a service to follow with military honors at 6:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions be made to Trinity Lutheran Church in Niles: 56 N Chestnut Ave, Niles, OH 44446, in Daniel's memory.
