He is survived by his mother Barbara Decker; sons, Vernon Leach and wife Charity, and Jerid “Bear” Leach and wife, Lindsay; daughter Angela Leach and husband
Edwin; seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; siblings Mike Leach, Belinda Decker, Sterlon Decker, Rex Eugene Decker, Jeremy Decker, step brothers and sisters, Kay Hufford, Zinda Spangler, Mark Decker, Lance Decker and ex-wife, Beverly Jo Leach.
Lyle’s memory lives on in every story told, every laugh shared, and in the deep roots he cherished.

Lyle was a wonderful brother. He cared so much for all his family. My fondest memory of him was bird hunting in Missouri. He could outwalk you everywhere we went. He loved shooting birds and was the best I have ever seen at it. I loved him very much and will miss him. My God bless him in heaven, my brother.
