Leland Dee "Lee" Dalebout (Slice), dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on 26 Feb 2017 after complications associated with lung cancer. The love of his life, Diena, was by his side as she has been for over 53 years. Lee was born in Ogden, Utah 24 Apr 1936 a son of Adrian and Vera Dalebout. He was the youngest of three boys (Harold, Martin, Lee).
Lee graduated from Ogden High School in 1954 where he excelled in many sports including football, baseball, basketball, track, boxing and wrestling. He was awarded a football scholarship to Weber Junior College and Utah State. He selected Weber College so he could be closer to his parents because of their health issues. His college career was cut short by a shoulder injury.
Lee worked at Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) where he served loyally for over 32 years. He was also a member of the Utah National Guard where he served for nine years. After his retirement from HAFB, he worked at the Barn Golf Club for over 20 years. This was a natural fit for someone who loved being outside and hitting a long ball. The family ran out of room to store all the trophies he accumulated.
Lee and Diena were married in Jan 1964 and were later sealed in the Bountiful LDS Temple. they stayed side by side through thick and thin for over 53 years. Together they were blessed with two children, Cindy and Scott, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Lee was so proud of all their many accomplishments.
Lee absolutely loved the outdoors and passed on this love to his family. He could be found in the mountains whenever a hunt was open or the fish were biting.
During the winter months, Lee could be found in the bowling alley. He loved the sport and once scored 297 at 75 years of age.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers, Harold and Martin.
Interment, Leavitt's Aultorest Memorial Park with military honors accorded.
