We are disheartened to inform you of the passing of Leon Elwin Dorris, aged 69 years,
born on the 20th day of November, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-three.
Leon thrived thru hardships that come with life head-on without fear of an end but more
impassioned by the journey. Through his Journey he showed us his compassion, his
commitment to his family and the ones he loved, MAY NO MORE OF A HUMBLE MAN
RISE TO THE HEAVENS, HE Shall be MISSED.

Leaves behind as well: Niece Sara (Rob) McLain, Nephew Bryce (Lyn), Niece Chris Baldwin and many great nieces and nephews.

Leon was a Member of Plumbers Union Local 130 for over 30 years, Master Mason (lodge 102), Volunteer Firefighter, and Boy Scout Scoutmaster. He enjoyed John Wayne movies in his favorite chair, target shooting, bowing, golfing, and was a Rays fan. He enjoyed many travels throughout the world and spent the occasional time at the slots.
