Leo was born on December 14th, 1940, in Trenton, Nebraska to Lloyd and Nellie (Ridgley) Seybold. He grew up in Trenton until 1954 when the family moved to the Hershey, Nebraska area.
Leo met the love of his life, LaVon Houser and the two were married on September 16th, 1962. They settled in Paxton, Nebraska where they went on to have five children, eleven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Leo worked on several ranches in Nebraska in the early years of his marriage. He then worked for Lincoln County, running heavy equipment before moving to Wellington, Colorado in 1979. In Willington, he drove semitruck for a few years before he was hired on at Larimer County where he again ran heavy equipment until his retirement in 1997. After his retirement, he and LaVon moved to Overton, Nebraska.
