With hearts broken and forever changed, we share the passing of Ashley Marie Leibbrand, age 33, of St. Charles, Missouri, who left us far too soon on October 1, 2025.
Ashley was the beloved daughter of Peggy Leibbrand and the late Steven Leibbrand, the devoted mother of her pride and joy, Kane Brewer, and the cherished sister of Julie (Steve) Miller.
Ashley was quiet by nature but loved deeply and fiercely. She had a gentle soul, a kind heart, and a beautiful way of showing love through small, meaningful moments — a warm smile, a thoughtful gesture, or simply being there when someone needed her.
Her greatest joy in life was being Kane’s mom. She loved cheering him on at his football games, spending time together, and watching him grow into the wonderful young man she was so proud of. The bond they shared was unbreakable — her love for him was her guiding light and her greatest accomplishment.
Beyond being a loving mother, one of her proudest achievements was pursuing her love of bodybuilding and winning her first-ever competition — a reflection of her determination, dedication, and inner strength.
Ashley found joy in life’s simple pleasures — spending time with her son, cuddling with her beloved dog Teddy, and enjoying the little things that made her smile. She had a creative and passionate spirit and a love for music, photography, all the “smell goods,” makeup/skincare, and fitness.
She will also be remembered for her warmth, loyalty, and the love she gave so freely to her family and friends. Ashley had a playful side too — she loved her sour candy, Flaming Hot Cheetos, and anything pickle, which were the small joys that perfectly captured her sweet and spirited personality.
Ashley’s gentle spirit, radiant smile, piercing blue eyes and deep love for those around her will be remembered forever. Though her time with us was far too short, her light will continue to shine in the hearts of everyone who knew her — especially in her beloved son, Kane.
The family requests that children under the age of 12 refrain from attending the service.
