Luis D. Leal Luis D. Leal, 74, died Friday, August 18, 2017 in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his loving family and faithful dog and constant companion, Mufasa. Luis was born on November 22, 1942 to Victoriano S. Leal and Maria De Le Garza Leal in Santa Rosa, TX. He lived for many years in southern Texas but made his way to Utah where he fell in love with the mountains. He made his living as a long haul truck driver for Air Liquide and received the Million Mile Safety Driver Award. He retired in 2005. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed sharing his love of the outdoors with his sons, nephews and grandsons. He loved sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Braves. Sundays were faithfully spent watching ESPN and eating his favorite carne. Luis is survived by three children: Elizabeth Leal (Joe) of Harlingen, TX, Luis Leal Jr. of Harlingen, TX, Luis Raul Leal of Murray, UT, and special daughter-in-law, Mandi Leal; grandchildren, Vanessa Cabili of Germany, Keann and Kaylie Leal of Harlingen, TX, Anthony Nico Dastrup of Las Vegas, NV, and Lorenzo Michael Leal of West Jordan, UT, and 2 great-granddaughters. Luis is also survived by siblings Gumecindo D. Leal (Petra), Josie L. Zamora (Marcial), Daniel D. Leal (Emma), Victoriano D. Leal (Blanca), Manuel D. Leal (Gina), and Raul D. Leal (Kat); loving nephews and nieces who regarded him as a father figure, Gumecindo Leal Jr. (Chandee), Jose L. Leal (Maria), Norma Liza Bruno (Mike), Meggie Gonzalez (Enrique), Victoriano Leal (Cindy), Hilaria Leal (Phillip), and Santiago Leal (Kelly); many great-nephews and nieces who affectionately called him “Tio Luis.” Preceded in death by his father, Victoriano S.
