Early Life: Leon was born on the family farm April 24, 1928, on the east bench of Provo, Utah, to William and May Brown Isaacson. He learned many valuable lessons working alongside his dad and grandpa. His love for the outdoors began at an early age as he explored the hills behind the farm. His favorite times were hunting or fishing with his dad, and later, with his own children and grandchildren. Many great family memories involve hunting or fishing trips with Leon. He attended Lincoln High School where he played basketball and football. There he met his eternal sweetheart.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: Following high school graduation, Leon married Betty Pulham, in 1946. Leon was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings in the Church. One of his greatest joys was being sealed to Betty in the Manti Utah LDS Temple. He and Betty raised their children in the Brookside subdivision of Springville, where they made many lifelong friends. Leon worked at Muir-Roberts through much of his adult life, managing their fruit packing plants and made valuable friendships with the growers and employees. He retired after 35 years and enjoyed snowbirding with Betty in St. George, making many great friends and golfing with his "Over the Hill Gang." Leon was also an accomplished trapshooter and gunsmith. He won many awards for trapshooting, including State Champion in his division for several years in a row. All his children and grandchildren cherish the guns he made for them. Leon's greatest love was his wife and children. He is the proud dad to four children: Mel (Sherrie), of West Jordan; Ed (Marcia), of Alpine; Patty (Rick) Robinson, of West Jordan; and Judy (Dale) Ainge, of Orem. He loved being Grandpa Leon and attended many ballgames, dance programs and piano recitals. At the time of his passing, he had 14 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. After the passing of his dear wife, Betty, in 2005, Leon married Jane Jones, of Overton, Nevada.
