PARIS - Leon Junior Beck, 92, passed away Tuesday, December 1, 2009, at the Green River Convalescence Center in Green River, Wyoming. Originally from Paris, Idaho, Junior lived with his daughter in Rock Springs, Wyoming, for the past year.

He married Ozella Parker on June 14, 1944, in the Logan Temple.
Junior was a farmer/rancher in the Bear Lake area. He took especially good care of his horses and cattle. He kept a small herd of cows until he was 88 years old and then reluctantly sold his herd because he could no longer lift the hay bales.
