Leslie was such a gentle soul who loved God and family. My prayers reach out to you all as you grieve his passing. What joy there is in knowing you will be together again in the presence of Jesus some day, but what an empty gaping hole in your hearts for now. Love and prayers.

Leslie you will be missed by so many people. And entire community. Especially by your Wife and children and immediate family. I have known you my entire life. You have always been a very kind person and treated everyone very well. Just like you would want to be treated. Heaven brought home a glorious angel Friday. You left your mark upon this earth I hope many people can see and follow. May God continue to bless your entire family and keep them safe.

I had the privilege and the honor of treating one of the sweetest souls I've ever known. Leslie and Shawn are a true representation of our heavenly father and I have no doubt that Leslie is now in Abba's presence. Oh the joy he beholds! I pray that the peace of God that surpasses ALL understanding saturate Sean and the entire family during this difficult time. Be encouraged that this isn't the end. A beautiful home awaits us that we cant begin to fathom. Shawn, I love you and I'm praying for you daily. I'm so fortunate to have met Leslie. He will forever live on in my heart.

I'm sorry for your loss I only had the pleasure of knowing Les for the short time he was at NS but it was a pleasure to meet such a great person. He spoke daily about his wonderful family and how he enjoyed spending time with them. He was very proud of his son and daughter and loved working on the projects he and Blake were into. Please know that he is in a great place I hope my mother gets to meet him and someday I get to meet him again.
