Leonard Stalliviere

On December 31", 2020 Leonard Joseph Stalliviere, 67, passed away peacefully at home, with his loving wife Linda by his side.
Leonard was born on November 4th, 1953 in Tooele, Utah. From a young age, he was charismatic and had a great sense of humor. He joined the United States Army in 1971 and served in the Vietnam war. He loved the rodeo and riding his motorcycle. He was a devout father and avid hunter. He was grateful to pass on his passion for hunting to his sons, going together every year since they could walk. He was an extremely hard worker, even up until he passed. He was a member of the Operating Engineers Local 3 Union for most of his career. He spent many years working at Kennecott before going on the road pipelining. He worked all over the US while pipelining before retiring in 2016. While on the road for work, Linda and Leonard loved to hop on his motorcycle and explore some of the beautiful sights throughout our country. He was a devout Catholic and proudly served for many years in the Knights of Columbus. One of his most memorable days was when he married the love of his life Linda in a Catholic ceremony.
This past year Leonard was able to watch his granddaughter Hope be born, go on a few motorcycle rides with Linda, put an addition onto their home, give his daughter away at her wedding, and take one final hunting trip with his boys. He will be greatly missed but his family will cherish the memories that they have with him and find peace in knowing that they will be reunited one day in God's Heavenly Kingdom.
Leonard is survived by his wife, Linda; children Matt Johnson, Rusti (Joe) Hardy, Trevor (Jennifer) Stalliviere, and Justin Stalliviere; stepchildren- Jason (Cat) D'Avignon and Aimee D'Avignon; grandchildren - Oakley Stalliviere, Hope Stalliviere, Emilia D'Avignon, and Adelaide D'Avignon; brother, Norman (Dara) Stalliviere; sister, Carlene (John) Clark; and his dogs Tanner and Jenny.
