Leslie was born on April 26, 1940, to Harry and Pearl Riley Prince in Chesapeake, Ohio, and passed away on Friday, February 6, 2026, at his home in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Leslie was a retired Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force and was awarded the Bronze Star during his service. He married Charlotte Odom Prince, and their life together reflected the commitments they shared and the years they spent supporting one another.
He enjoyed reading and was an active golfer, always making time for the things he liked. While living in Germany, he became a marathon runner, and it remained one of the accomplishments he was proud of. These interests shaped much of his daily life and were a meaningful part of who he was.
His presence will be missed, and his memory will remain with those who knew him.
Leslie was preceded in death by his mother, Pearl Riley Prince; father, Harry Prince; brother, Bobby Prince; sisters, Sharon Black and Deborah Dorsey; sister in law, Doris Prince; and brothers in law, Chauncey Black, Tom Dorsey, Johnny Devore, and Jackie Pyles.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Charlotte Riley Prince; children, Adella Boyle and husband, Charlie, Shawn Harr, Dana Cooper and husband, Bo, Brenda Ebey, Erik Odom and wife, Lanita, and Pamela Merideth Neal and husband, Danny; 11 grandchildren; sisters, Alma Pyles, Marilyn Black and husband, George, and Barbara Devore; and his brother, Dwight Prince, and wife, Christie.
Honoring Leslie as pallbearers will be Dale Hubbard, Richard Auchard, John Autry, Johnny Johnson, D.C. Machen, and Charlie Harper.
