William “Leon” Borrowman, 60, of Beardstown died Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at Heritage Health in Beardstown.
    He was born Oct. 12, 1960, in Louisiana, MO, the son of William Leo and Juanita Battershell Borrowman.
    He is survived by one son, Cody Borrowman of Ft. Mohave, AZ; two step-children, Gregory Edward “Jedd” Ross of Green Valley and Nina Marie Ross of Havana; three grandchildren, Jeremiah, Alexandria and Leeanne Borrowman; three brothers, Oren, Scott and Ronnie Borrowman, all of Nebo; aunt, Hazel Daniels of Nebo; uncle, Robert Borrowman of Hutchinson, KS; close friends, Don Looker and Dave Smith; and his True Value family.
    He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, John Borrowman; and one sister, Joyce Colbert.
    Mr. Borrowman was a graduate of Pittsfield High School. He worked as a farm hand for area farmers in Pike County, then started his own heating and air conditioning repair business. Most recently he was employed at True Value Hardware in Beardstown, retiring after 15 years due to his declining health. Leon was known to tinker and could fix anything worth fixing. He enjoyed camping and riding around town in his van. He had a generous heart and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
    A graveside memorial service will be held at a later date at Nebo Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice.
