BENTON- Joseph "Joey" Leslie passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on 01/28/2025. He was born in Ruislip, UK. He was the son of Joseph "Joe" and Thelma "Jean" Leslie. After a short period of time, his family moved back to Arkansas where he was raised.
In his adult life, he enjoyed his career as a truck driver. This ultimately led him to his true love, Cathy Leslie. He also found a great love on his mission trip to Mexico in sharing the gospel of the good lord. This passion guided him to later become an ordained minister.
He loved spending time with his family, especially his "Lilly bug", who he cherished so much. He also enjoyed fishing, arrowhead hunting, grilling, reading his bible, playing video games with his kids and cheering for the Green Bay Packers.
In addition to his mom, Jean, he was predeceased by his beloved Cathy Sue and his step-mom, Rebecca Leslie. In addition to his father, Joe, his memory lives on through his best friend and son, Joseph Cody Leslie, his children, Larry Pierce, Lindsey Jones, Anneka (Danny) Gills, Hannah Gills and Landin Gills. As well as his siblings, April (Mike) Meridith, Ada (John) Aiken, James (Kaci) Leslie, His aunt, Linda Dodgen, his precious granddaughter, Lilly J. Jones and many more family and friends all of whom he loved so very much.

Joey and I were friends since grade school. Growing up Joey was my best guy friend and he was always at my house or me at his. My sister's and his sisters were the same age and Joey and I were about the same age.
We had more laughs and tears than you can ever imagine. We grew up and lost touch for awhile but the past few years have kept up with one another. So, many great memories that will always be with me. I will always miss my friend and pray for the family . Love you all and know Joey is with his Jesus.

So sorry to hear of Joey´s passing. It totally broke my heart. After us all growing up together so close and keeping in touch in spurts. (I wish it were more) I love you all more than you know. (STILL after all these years)
I am saddened to say I won´t be able to make it to his Celebration of Life tomorrow but please know my heart is with you.

Joey, when I heard of your passing I cried and rejoiced for you for I know you longed for heaven. I know you are now in a place of peace , love and no longer suffering with pain or a broken heart of losing your love ones. Joey you became such a good friend of mine. I will definitely miss Cathy and you. I will miss praying with you. You had such a close relationship with Jesus! I always called you a Prayer Warrior. I will miss our little talks and will always be thankful for our friendship and friendship with Cathy. I remember when you two purchased your tomb stone to be buried next to each other. Y´all were showing me a picture and was so proud of it . I would never believe over a year later you two would be buried there. I´m keeping your sweet family in prayer. See you later in heaven.
