From familysearch.org: When Leon was a teenager he went to Rexburg to a dance with some friends. They got separated and they were searching all over for him. They found him by the fountain in the city park, asleep. So from then on his friends called him "Search", because they had to search for him that night. And some years later the name got changed to Surge. And that is what everyone called him at the gas station, race track, church and everywhere he went by "Surge".
