Leslie Fowler Obituary
Leslie "Les" Raymond Fowler passed peacefully on the morning of August 24, 2015. Les was in the company of his family, and the nursing staff that had been taking care of him for the past seven and a half years at Overlander Extended Care in Kamloops, B.C. Les succumbed to natural causes as a result of severe brain trauma due to a motor vehicle accident on December 6, 2007. He was 55 years old.
Les was born on January 24, 1960, in Red Rock, Ontario to Raymond and Lea Fowler. They had three sons, Michael, Ronald, and the youngest, Les. His brother Ron's life was also taken at a young age in a motor vehicle accident north of Kamloops, as well as his father who suffered a major attack. Les loved sharing stories of both of them, and passing on the many morals, values, and knowledge that they had helped to instill in him. Les is survived by his mother Lea, brother Michael, wife Jocelyn, and his two sons Raymond and Matthew. Les was dedicated to utilizing his skills, wisdom and kindness in helping others. He spent the majority of his life in Kamloops, B.C. where he worked for a number of local trucking companies, as well as operated his own small businesses. He loved anything on wheels, especially two, and those in the motorcycle and car communities will surely miss his company. We will never forget his deep laugh, ability to brighten a room, and his love for children. A loving father, loyal husband, hard worker, and stand up friend, Les will be missed by all those touched by his presence.
There will be a celebration of life on Sunday, August 30, from 3 to 6 PM at the Cottonwood Centre on the North Shore, Kamloops, B.C. The doors are open to anybody who would like to come share stories, view photos, and pay final respect to Les. The family has politely requested that no flowers be given. They would also like to thank Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services for their help with the arrangements.
