Leon James Harbur

Leon James Harbur, two months, of Gothenburg, Neb., went to be with Jesus on August 10, 2022 in Gothenburg.

Leon was born June 17, 2022 at Great Plains Health in North Platte, Neb., son of Tanner Harbur and Jessie Craig.

Leon was attracted to the colors pink, red and purple, this was the reason that Tanner’s hair was purple! He always wanted to hold onto his parents’ cross necklaces while he cuddled next to them. “Heat Waves” was the song which his parents sang to him the first week of his life. Leon was such a strong, perfect little boy, always excited to game with dad. Leon was a blessing to everyone and was loved by all as soon as they laid their eyes on him. 

Survivors include his parents Tanner Harbur and Jessie Craig of Gothenburg; grandparents Kenny and Susan Harbur of Gothenburg; Jeff and Joan Craig of Elsie, Neb.; Great-grandfather, Dennis Craig; Great-grandmother, Mary Harbur; several aunts and uncles, Kim (Jim) Kilson, Ryan (Carrie) Harbur, Jeff (Mary) Harbur,  Lucas Harbur, Trenton Harbur, Zachary Harbur, Joe Craig; along with numerous extended family.
