Leon Null Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Leon B. Null, a wonderful man, devoted husband, beloved brother, and caring father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, received his eternal reward when he graduated from this life on October 11, 2021 after a brave battle against COVID-19. He was born July 5, 1935, the first son of Clyde and Betty Null of Fort Worth, TX.

He joined the Texas National Guard in the late 1950s out of an obligation to serve his country. He married Sarah Jane, the love of his life, on July 14, 1955, and they adopted two girls who were the pride of his life. In 1993, Leon retired from the National Linen Service after 32 years of service in order to spend time with his grandchildren and focus on his golf swing. Leon was preceded in death by his parents.
