LESLIE BROWN Obituary
1947 - 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Les Brown on the 18 February 2024 after a long battle with COPD and diabetes. He is survived by his wife Phyllis of 52 years, daughters Hollie and Kristi, sisters Judith Brown and Dianne Sprague, numerous nephews, nieces and many good friends. He was predeceased by his parents, brothers Kenneth and Douglas and sister Gailene Faye.
Les was born in Lestock, Saskatchewan on the 27 October 1947 to parents Art and Doris Brown. He and his family moved to the Prince George area in 1956 where Les grew up, attended school, graduating from PGSSS in 1965. He played Little League and Pony League baseball, raised a young family and worked as a welder in the trucking industry. The family moved to Coquitlam in 1987 where he resided until his passing.
He will be remembered as a great husband and father; for his quick wit and good humour and his famous barbecued ribs and deep fried turkeys.
The family will have a private gathering at a future date to honour him. We are devastated for the loss of such a profoundly impactful man.
Always loved and will never be forgotten...

My deepest condolences Phyllis, Hollie and Kristi. Les was a great guy and I have fun memories of times we four spent together in the early years of our marriages. Hopefully our two guys will meet up again and share the same.

Always will be remembered. Les and Phyllis visited Australia and stayed with us. Lester drove them around the NSW Coast from the North Coast down to the South Coast. Always remembered by his wit and his learning of not to be afraid of birds. At a cafe in Mollymook on the NSW South Coast he even fed Larakeets the cafe sugar satchels (naughty boy). We miss you Les and Condolences to Phyllis, Kristie and Hollie. Lester & Jenn Radford
