Leland (Lee) Bechtol was a beloved husband, son, brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, nephew, and friend. If you were lucky enough to have known him, consider yourself blessed. In the words of a family member Lee was larger than life in every way. He had an unmistakable giggle, crooked grin, an incredible sense of humor, and a perspective on things that made you look at life in a truly beautiful and different way. He could make you laugh harder than anyone you ever met. Play harder than you ever knew you could. Love better than you ever dreamed. He lived everyday with no regrets.
