Lee Eblen

Lee Eblen went to be with his Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, Dec. 16, 2016. His family thanks all those who helped, cared for, and visited Lee in the past months. He will be missed by his many friends and his family.

Lee loved his family, his ranch, and his horses. He really enjoyed the many years his family competed in the rodeo arena and made many friendships throughout their travels in Montana.

Growing up in Gallatin Valley, Lee was a passionate Bobcat fan. He attended almost all the Bobcat home football games, getting to know many of the players and coaches throughout the years. He was also a Bobcat rodeo supporter. Lee could be seen many times leading the Bobcat cheer in the arena before a rodeo performance in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.

Lee was a proud American, serving his country as a U.S. Marine during the Korean War.

There will be a celebration of life in honor of Lee in the spring/summer. Memorials can be made to the Pass Creek Community Center, c/o Alice Miller, 598 Moon Beam Lane, Belgrade, MT 59714.

Arrangements are in the care of Dokken-Nelson Funeral Service. http://www.dokkennelson.com
