Leo Maestas was born September 12, 1946 in Chacon, New Mexico and left for Heaven January 17, 2021. His family moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming when he was just 5 years old. There he attended grade school, graduated high school, and served in the United States Air Force.
He retired from the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities, where he was the Maintenance and Operations Supervisor at the wastewater facility, earning many certificates and awards.
He married his wife, Annamarie Roness, on December 28, 2010 in Gering, Nebraska and they made their home in Minatare, Nebraska.
Leo has 6 children, 6 step-children, 9 grandchildren, 7 step-grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild.
Leo was passionate about everything he did in life, and could accomplish anything he set his mind to.
One of his biggest passions was fishing, hunting, and family. Anyone who had the opportunity to go fishing with Leo never came home empty handed.
Leo was bigger than life, and everything he did, he did bigger than life. His love for his Children, Wife, Sisters, Brothers, Nieces, Nephews, Grandchildren, and the many Friends he has, is unmeasurable and unconditional. He touched the lives of people more than he knew, and taught us more than he’ll ever know. He had an incredible knowledge of all things. There wasn’t a person that he met, that didn’t love him. He always put everyone else ahead of his self, that’s just who he was. A kind and loving man with so much to offer. He will be missed by so many, and loved forever so dearly.
He is survived by his Wife, Children, Brothers, Sisters, Nieces, Nephews, Step-Children, Grandchildren, Step-Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents Leopoldo and Anselma, two brothers Gilbert and Levy, step-grandson Steven, and his late wife Sally.
Our hearts are heavy, but filled with love for him. If everyone could be like Leo, the world would be a magical, beautiful, loving, and caring place. The loss of our Leo is a devastating loss. He touched so many lives and made our world a better place.
My Dear Sweet Darlin’, Heaven now has my Angel. I love you forever.
