Leon served in the United States Army for four years. He was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Leon was dedicated to loving and caring for his family. That was his mission in life and he did it well! He, also, found great joy in watching the Huskers. One of the state's biggest Husker fans will now have the best seat in the house!

The family wishes to acknowledge the care and compassion Leon received from the Waterford at Williamsburg and St. Croix Hospice.
