He grew up in the heart of Washington and surrounding areas, Southcamp and Cluny. He loved his community and everyone was his brother and sister. He was an all-around musician who had a passion for his love of his life, his guitar. He loved playing the Bass and Drums. He played in a band when he was younger with his childhood friends. He loved playing in their very own Sun Walk Band and we cannot forget his spoons where his music career all began. He loved nature and would often be seen walking throughout the Community of Siksika, always enjoying visiting with family and friends. Leon attended Crowfoot School and Old Sun College.
