Our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Leon Judd, passed away peacefully on the evening of July 21, 2012 at the age of 77. In his final hours he was surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Leon was born in Kanab, Utah September 3, 1934, to Dale and Lenore Judd. He attended Kanab High School, and played on the varsity football team. In 1954 he married Anita Watson.
