Leo Badoni, our beloved husband, dad, brother, friend and grandpa passed peacefully from
this life in his home on April 25, 2025. He was 67. Born August 25, 1957 in Shiprock, New
Mexico to Stella (Bitsilly) and Mann Codi Badoni. Growing up on the Navajo Reservation, Leo
learned the importance of family, community and hard work. He was blessed to spend part of
his school years with the Douglas Grimshaw family in Bountiful, UT through the Indian
Placement Program. Leo graduated from Ignacio High School in Ignacio,CO, where he was
president of the rodeo team and a winning bull rider. He enlisted in the Army right out of high
school to “see the world.” Stationed in Mannheim, Germany with an armor unit, he worked as
a tank mechanic, but his joy was traveling and skiing the Alps with the International Ski Club.
After his enlistment, Leo enrolled at Utah State University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree
in Political Science and earning a commission through ROTC. While at USU, he met his future
wife on the mountain slopes in a ski class. He and his “sweetie” were married in December
1984 and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. They loved to ski, travel and dance to country
music. Upon graduation, Leo went back in the Army, this time as an officer. He scored another
tour to Germany, going to Field Station Augsburg as a Military Intelligence Officer. Leo had a
distinguished career as a United States Army Officer serving also at Schofield Barracks, Oahu,
HI, Fort Hood, TX and with a joint task force, HIDTA, in Houston, TX before being called to
serve in Iraq and Afghanistan in the Global War on Terrorism. He spent many years proudly
serving his country.
Beyond his professional achievements, Leo was a devoted husband and father. He loved to
come home after a long days work and share with his kids something he had learned that day.
The conversation at the dinner table would start on one topic and branch out and take twists
and turns into many related topics but would always end with: “now that’s why you’ve got to
get an education!” And he was an ardent supporter of his children’s educational and musical
endeavors. Leo is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as a
Boy Scout leader and a Primary teacher.
Always striving to do his best, he spent the last 10 years fighting kidney cancer as a true
warrior. He had an extremely strong will to live. He was brave and courageous throughout his
life to the very end, a true example to family and friends.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Sheryl; daughter, Ashley (Luke) Parrot; son,
Lance Badoni; daughter, Christa (Eric) Norgrant; son, Landon (Emily) Badoni; and sons, Logan
Badoni and David Badoni; 8 grandchildren: Charlotte and Ashton Parrot; Samuel and Ryker
Norgrant; Aeralynn Badoni; Lucas Chambers, Madison and Levi Badoni. He is also survived by
his siblings, Linda Mae (Chris) Glasser, Louise Badoni, Roy (Christina) Badoni, Vernon
(Shelaine) Badoni, and Rechelle (Jon) Sanchez; and foster siblings Carl (Kathy) Grimshaw, Jan
Grimshaw Brock (Dan deceased) and Scott (Beverly) Grimshaw. He is preceded in death by his
parents and his brother, Raymond Badoni, his foster parents, Doug and JoAnn Grimshaw and
foster sister, Connie Hardesty.
Leo will be remembered for his great laugh, his ability to talk to anyone on any topic, his ability
to keep a car running well beyond its projected lifespan and his unwavering dedication to God,
his family and his country. He will be deeply missed.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 12:00PM at the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in Houston, TX at 16331 Hafer Road, Houston, TX 77090. Visitation

A sincere thank you goes out to the many doctors and nurses who cared for Mr. Leo at
MDAnderson over the years, to the doctors and staff at Whole Health Associates, and to the
nurses and aides from 1st Choice Hospice who came to his side and treated him with such
kindness and dignity.

Jerry Edward Burgess was born on October 3, 1943, in Camden, Arkansas, to his loving parents Ivy and Eva Burgess. Jerry grew up with one sister, Bertha Burgess Ellis. Jerry lived a life defined by service, dedication, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life. A proud Christian, Jerry was a long-time member of the United Methodist Church. His faith guided his path and anchored him through life’s many seasons. He answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps on July 31, 1961. He served with honor and distinction during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged on July 30, 1965. A devoted patriot, he continued to uphold the values of courage and loyalty throughout his life. Professionally, Jerry was a skilled and respected design engineer. He worked at Ingersoll Rand for 15 years before continuing his career at Mitchell Energy, where he dedicated 28 years of service and retired in 2005. Retirement didn’t slow him down—Jerry went on to operate Jerry’s Feed in Conroe, Texas, where he built lasting friendships and stayed connected to his community. In his free time, Jerry thrived in the outdoors. He loved trail riding, hunting, fishing, and dancing. He was often seen enjoying time with friends at the VFW in Conroe or at Casey’s Pub in Magnolia, usually accompanied by his beloved late service dog, Andy. His favorite saying, “Be good, or be good at it,” summed up his spirited and light-hearted nature.
Jerry was a proud Legacy Member of VFW Post 4709 in Conroe and was actively involved as a long-time committee member of both the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo. His community involvement was just one of the many ways he gave back and remained engaged with the people and causes he cared about most.
Jerry leaves behind cherished memories for his family and a host of dear friends. His presence, wisdom, and sense of humor will be dearly missed.
