Lyle Charles Backus, age 90, passed away on June 11, 2025. Lyle was a proud Veteran of the United States Army. A husband to Lucy, a father figure to Jando, a brother to Lynnette & Elaine, son of Katherine & August, a god father to Arisbeth & Elvia, Uncle B to Zulema, compadre to Cecilia, Angelina & Efrain, a veteran of the United States. But what are we without these titles? A loving soul, an artist with gems & stones, a knowledge seeker and an avid reader. More titles but aside from that a memory of all experience and a heart filled with love, joy & laughter. A life well lived. We love you Mr. B.
