Leo Dean Coombs

Leo Dean Coombs passed away December 9th in the comfort of his home, beside his loving wife.

He was born June 2, 1931, in Fountain Green, Utah, to Ervin and Iona Coombs.

He married the love of his life, Darla Selzle on June 26, 1953. They later brought 3 beautiful children into the world, Susan (Frank) Gallegos, Michael Coombs & Shari Baker.

Surviving are his wife, two daughters, three grand-children, and four great grand-children.

He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, son, and son in law Marc Baker.

After graduating high school, he went to work for his uncle at Ogden Poultry. He later founded D&M Distributing. He achieved great success, probably sold more chickens than anyone else this side of the Mississippi, and befriended nearly everyone in the industry. At 91 years old, he could still be found at D&M several days a week.

When Dean semi-retired, he enjoyed golfing, fishing, camping, playing cards, and traveling. He loved being with his family most of all, especially his great grand-children. Dean was known for his delicious meatloaf and legendary popcorn!

Services will be held at Leavitt’s Mortuary on Wednesday, December 21, 2022. The viewing will begin at 2pm and the funeral at 3pm.
