Eli Leyva Jr. crossed over peacefully from this Earth to be with his heavenly Father from his home at Mesa Vista Home in Orem, Utah. He will be dearly missed by those he left behind.

He was born to Eli and Rosario Leyva on July 20, 1945 in Worland, Wyoming. He moved to Utah in 1992 and lived there until his death. Eli made many friends who loved him at his home in Mesa Vista. He would entertain them with his singing and did many different activities with them.

He was preceded in his death by his father, Eli Leyva and mother, Rosario Leyva, sisters, Marty (Emilia) Leyva and Estella Vega. He has many nephews and nieces. He is survived by his brother, Charles Leyva and sister, Bea Rodriguez. He will be missed by so many others who crossed his path.

No services are presently planned but a celebration of Life will be announced at a later time.
