Mr. Overman was born in Randolph County on March 23, 1929, the son of John and Myrtle Hackney Overman. Leon faithfully read his Bible and held close to his Baptist beliefs.

Leon loved going fishing, which usually ended in a fish fry on Saturday with his friends. Leon was well known in the community for preparing a hog to make sausage, ham and tenderloin. He was always there to help people. Leon adored his family and cherished the time he got to spend with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Leon is preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Betty Overman; brothers, Dean, Arnold, Tate, and Houston Overman; and sister, Mary Alice Williamson.
He is survived by his son, Charles “Chuck” Leon Overman and wife Beth of Siler City; sister, Hermis Overman of Staley; grandchildren, Charles Richard Overman and wife Courtney, and Angel Marie Marsh and husband Jon; great grandchildren, Ava, and Piper Overman, and Layla, Lily and Gabriel Marsh.
