LaVal BigLeggins

LaVal Arnold BigLeggins, 60, of Poplar died Oct. 6, 2020.

He was born on April 13, 1960, to Margaret and Donald BigLeggins in Poplar. He spent most of his life in Poplar, where he called home. He loved his music and driving around and hanging with his best friend Lester Menz and all his buddies.

He liked cooking for his sister Brenda, who he was living with, always wanting her to eat his cooking. His favorite soup was hangover soup, which he was very proud of. When he lived alone, his nephew Robert Birthmark would check on him and bring him a hot meal.

He was always happy and joking with everyone. Everyone knew him by “The Rock.” He loved his wrestling. His favorite one was “The Undertaker.” He would sit for hours, hollering and making everyone laugh.

He had three children, Nova BigLeggins of Billings, Lavia BigLeggins of Poplar and John Leggit of Wolf Point.

He was preceded in death by his sisters, Rhonda BigLeggins, Carla Olson and Davetta Lester; and one brother, Percy Lester.

He is survived by his sisters, Valerie White Hawk, Brenda Good Bird, Veronica BigLeggin and Shannon White Hawk of Billings; two brothers, Richard BigLeggins and Curtis BigLeggins, both of Poplar; and three granddaughters.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, Oct. 13, at the Brenda BigLeggins’ residence. Interment was in the Poplar City Cemetery. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel was in charge of the arrangements.
