Leland Moats, 71, went into the presence of his Lord and Savior on Sunday, August 2, 2009. Lee was born in 1937 near Woolstock, and was the son of Benjamin and Edna Moats. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend Barbara, son Brent, son Blaine, daughter Tari, and son Chad. Lee grew up in Webster City. He met Barb while working at the drive in theatre in Webster City. They were friends for a few years before falling in love. They were married in 1960. They moved to Ames in 1963 where Lee worked the next 27 years as a Systems Analyst at Iowa State University. After retirement Lee and Barb moved Gilbert, Arizona where they have lived the last 8 years. Lee and Barb were charter members at North Grand Christian Church, in Ames and over the past 8 years, have been members of Central Christian Church in Arizona. Outside of his faith, the most important thing to Lee was his family. He loved to spend time with his children and his 8 grandchildren. He touched so many people in his life and was an amazing father and Christian man. We will truly miss him. Services will be 10:30 am on Saturday, August 8 at North Grand Christian Church in Ames. Stevens Memorial Chapel is assisting his family.
