Chet was born November 25, 1954 in Sioux City; he was the son of Chester Zene and Jessie F. (Marmo) Leedom. Chet graduated from South Sioux City High School in 1973. He worked out of high school at Kentucky Fried Chicken, starting as a cook and worked up to manager. Chet spent 19 years in the parts department at Midwest Electric and then worked for 24 years at Mercy Medical Center in the shipping & receiving department, leaving due to his bad prognosis of cancer.

Left to cherish his memory are his siblings: oldest Patti Caskey of South Sioux City, Bernie (Roger) Zobel of Grand Island, NE, and a younger brother of South Sioux City, NE; many nieces and nephews along with great nieces and nephews and cousins; the love of his life the past 28 years Mary Frances “Francy” June of North Sioux City, SD; his hospital wife Diane Sorenson and her husband Bob, his work wife Becky Swanson.

Chet’s passions were other family members: Stubby-shitzu (passed), Dakota Jesse “Kota:” Leedom-corgi 11 years old, Mr. T Leedom-corgi (passed).

Chet’s other passions were his corvette. His latest yellow 2016 stingray, racing with Cornhusker Corvette Club of Boys Town, NE. and the social club “The Midwest Corvette Society” in Sioux City.

He was preceded in death by his parents, numerous aunts and uncles.

We want to thank Dr. Steven Powell, Dr. Ryan Navak and all the teams at Sanford in Sioux Falls for all they did for Chet. Also a thank you to all the friends of Chet that got him to and from Sioux Falls and Mercy and visited with him during his illness.
