Leonard West

Leonard Paul West "The Wiz" passed away on January 30, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Tooele on September 19, 1953 to Leonard A. and Joyce Bryan West, the second of three sons. The family eventually moved to Roy, Utah where Paul attended school, graduating from Roy High School in 1971. He worked driving truck for Condisco for many years and was currently employed by Broken Arrow. Paul was a dedicated employee and always gave his best. He was a great example for his family providing love and security through his strength and hard work. He was a calming influence and a man of great character and integrity. He was a positive and gentle person who truly loved life and he could light up a room with his beautiful smile. Paul is survived by his wife Pamela; his sons Michael (Julie), Tony, and Sam Walters (Angela); his daughters Natalie Christensen (Bryan), and Haley Walters; his thirteen grandchildren; and his brothers William (Sue) and Jim (Eve). He was preceded in death by his parents. Paul was my best friend and my soul mate. I know he is in a better place now and that we will see each other again someday. Until then, I will miss him everyday and keep him with me for the rest of my days. Paul, our lives are full and complete having been loved by you. Thank you for the time we had together. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at both Huntsman and the University of Utah hospitals for the outstanding services you provide. A very special thanks to the care providers at The Rocky Mountain Care facility in Riverton and to the Harmony Hospice team. Funeral services will be on Friday, February 6, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Tate Mortuary with a viewing one hour prior and on Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.  Interment Tooele City Cemetery.
