Obituary Raymond Leon Moffat
October 27th, 1948 - May 22nd, 2024
Raymond Leon Moffat was born on October 27, 1948, to Ralph Wearing Moffat and Clara Mace Waddell Moffat in Driggs, Idaho. He died early in the morning Wednesday, May 22, 2024, in Lewisville, Idaho.
He grew up in the Teton Basin and loved to hunt, fish, and do all sorts of outdoorsy things with his lifetime friends. He graduated from Teton High School in 1967. The family moved to Star Valley, Wyoming, shortly after graduation and he was called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Florida Mission, which covered all of Florida, parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Puerto Rico. He loved serving and loved the people he came in contact with there.
After returning from his mission, he attended Ricks College and met Peggy Sue Hadley. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on July 10, 1970. They had 3 sons. They later divorced. On June 12, 2009, Leon married Alice Erickson in the Logan Temple.
Leon worked at Ricks College for 32 years as director in food services. His favorite part of working there were the relationships he developed with the many students and full-time employees. There are many lifetime friendships from his work.
He served in many callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was an ordinance worker in the Idaho Falls Temple.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his in-laws; grandparents; and siblings, Dewayne, Doris, and Rayola.
He is survived by his wife, Alice; sons, Brandon, Shawn, and Brian; nineteen grandchildren and great grandchildren; his brother, Warren; and in-laws, Doug, Carol, Roger, Kevin, Rob, Carrie, Kyle, Julie, John, and McKay. He is also survived by many beloved nieces and nephews.
We would like to thank JT & Amanda Erickson and family for their dedicated service and love to Leon during the last 6 months, and those at Aspen Home Health & Hospice who have taken such good care and shown so much love to Leon in these last months: Chad, Katrin, Macy, and Janel.
