Leo Dwane Haskell, 76, our loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away into the arms of his Heavenly Father on December 16, 2013, from his beloved farm in Payson, Utah. He was born to the late Leo Earl and Matilda Hanks Haskell in Payson on November 24, 1937. He graduated from Payson High School and married his sweetheart, LuDean Sorensen, in the Salt Lake temple soon after. He continued his education at Brigham Young University and began a teaching career in Ely, Nevada upon his graduation. After a few years in Ely, he returned to Payson where he retired from the Middle School after teaching for 37 years and assisting numerous students in math and English.

He showed several horses that received their American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Registers of Merit and Point Championships. He also served as an AQHA judge and was inducted into the Utah Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1989. He was very involved with various other horse associations throughout the state and served in the presidency, as a board member, or head judge for several of them, including the Central Utah Cutting Horse Association, Panorama Horse Show Auction, 4-H, and the Utah State Western Riding Clubs Association.
