Posted: Tuesday, Jan 6, 2015 The Daily Inter Lake Leon Dale Syth, 81, peacefully passed away on Friday, Jan. 2, 2015, at home surrounded by his family after a lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis. We are very grateful for the kind and loving care Leon received in his final days from Home Health Care Hospice as well as his “special nurses,” daughter Lana DeGrio of Grass Valley, California, granddaughter Annie Tilton of Kalispell, granddaughter Melissa Santos of Grass Valley and Ronda Hill of Columbia Falls, and others. Leon was born in Sidney on May 30, 1933, to parents Lucy and Herold Syth and moved with his parents to Kalispell as a young child. He attended grades one to eight at Batavia and then attended Flathead High School, graduating in 1951. After graduation Leon worked for Safeway Foods in Kalispell; was a salesman for Nabisco and also sold Filter Queen vacuums. Leon was a jack-of-all-trades and could fix or repair anything. While working for Safeway, on Oct. 1, 1951, Leon met the love of his life, Evelyn Whaley. After a whirlwind romance they were married on Mar 16, 1952, and remained together until his death. In 1996, Leon took a sabbatical to LaPaz, Mexico, where he built a church of which he was extremely proud. Leon and Evelyn owned Leon’s Mobile Homes in Kalispell for about 10 years where he also sold Arctic Cat snowmobiles. They purchased The Pines Cafe in Columbia Falls in 1976 and together ran it until selling it in 2004. Over the years Leon enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing, camping and snowmobiling. He was a self-taught taxidermist and displayed his work at The Pines. In later years Leon took up oil painting and carpentry. Leon had a huge heart and was always there to lend a helping hand to those who needed it. It didn’t matter who it was, friend or stranger, Leon would help them. Leon was preceded in death by his father Herold Syth, mother Lucy Syth Cusick, brother Wade Syth, brother Marlin Syth, brother Jerry Syth, nephew John Syth, infant son Leon Ralph Syth and grandson Daniel Fredenberg. Leon is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Evelyn; his sister, Lois Krause, and husband, Bob, of Bigfork; children, Elizabeth Fredenberg and husband Ron of Kalispell, Leona Tilton and husband Ritchie of Columbia Falls; Laura Ingram and husband Michael of Las Vegas, Lana DeGrio of Grass Valley, and Leon A. Syth of Phoenix. Leon is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren who were also very loved by their grandpa. He will be missed by all. Leon’s family and friends, as well as his deep-rooted faith in our Lord and Savior were always what meant the most to Leon. He will continue to be loved and missed by all who knew him. A funeral service will be held at noon on Thursday, Jan. 8, at First Church of the Nazarene, 1295 Whitefish Stage Road, Kalispell. Interment will follow at Glacier Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Kalispell. Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home and Crematory is caring for Leon’s family.
