Sherman Leon Hopkins

Sherman Leon Hopkins passed away peacefully surround by love ones on Tuesday July 1, 2025. 

Born and raised in Collinsville, VA, he was the son of James Russell and Myrle Ray Hopkins, who both preceded him in death.

 Leon was a proud US Army Veteran and an ASE Master Technician. He spent his life working on cars, riding Harleys, playing golf and building and racing slot cars. His tools may now be at rest, but his spirit lives on in every engine that hums, every perfectly prepared meal and every lap around the slot car track. 

He is survived by his son, Justin Hopkins, daughter in law, Emily & granddaughter, Addison along with his precious dog, Mary Jane and many dear friends and loved ones! 

Friends and family are invited to gather for a Celebration of Life on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at the Blue Ridge Volunteer Fire Dept, 1354 Blue Ridge Springs Rd, Blue Ridge, VA 24064. 

To honor Leon’s love for animals and in lieu of flowers, please make a memorial contribution to your local animal shelter in his name.
