James Leon Platt

Leon grew up cowboying, hunting, and working on the farm where he learned the value of hard work at a young age which he carried with him his entire life.

Leon was the life of the party. His stories and positive personality always drew a crowd.  He had an amazing ability of making lifelong friends and always putting others needs above his own.  Leon enjoyed trucking, ranching, chasing horses, hunting, playing with the grandkids, and visiting with anyone he met.

Leon is preceded in death by his father Robert Warren, his wife Nancy Bea, his baby daughter Mary Rhoda, and his grandson Austin Wayne. He is survived by his children Chana (Casey) Green , Russell Leon (Lacey) Platt, Jon Travis (Jessie) Platt , Misty (Turley) Truman , Tammy Lee (Bingham) Walch , and Sara (Brian) Cates ; his mother Rhoda Bea Gubler; and his siblings Wayne (Gaylene) Platt, Denise Platt, Bruce Platt, Karen (Frank) Vinson, Shelley (Joan) Platt; and Stanley Watson.
