Leonard Follmer passed away in the early morning on January 13, 2025 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings, MT.

Leonard was born in Baker, MT on March 24, 1943. He was the second son of Otilta (Huber) and Henry Follmer. Leonard's father Henry passed away when he was in the 8th grade so Leonard quit school to run the farm south of Plevna, MT.

Leonard met his future wife Helen Landess in Glendive, MT and they were married on May 29, 1965. Together they had 7 children Cynthia, Paulette, Jeanette, Andrew, Jodi, Connie and Gene.

Leonard worked at the Baker Livestock for several years. They sold the farm in 1988 to move to Miles City, MT where he ran the truck shop at the Flying J for several years and then began working for Jerke's Trucking where he worked until retiring.

Leonard was known for being a very hard worker, which he instilled in his children. He was also known for being a "wheeler dealer" especially on vehicles.

Leonard is survived by 6 of his children, 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.
