Leslie, Owen Roy - Age 69 of Halifax, passed away at home on August 14, 2024.
Born in Halifax, he was a son of the late Irma Leslie (Brenton).
Owen was a lifelong lover of animals, nature and the outdoors. He owned several dogs throughout his life that were his constant companions including Bandit, the beagle that stole his heart. In his younger days he could often be found alongside a river or stream, fishing and he brought home dinner many times. Owen had a generous spirit and kind nature – he saw the best in others and was quick to share whatever he could with his friends. His SUV was one of his prize possessions and he was often giving drives to neighbours and friends, helping them accomplish must needed errands. He loved to watch sports, Sundays were all about football and he was a lifelong Oilers fan. Owen lived his life unapologetically, and had a “take me as I am” mentality. He loved his family, especially his mother Irma and served as her primary caregiver for many years.
Owen is survived by his sister, Lynn Poole, Middle Musquodoboit; brother, Wayne (Susan) Leslie, Halifax; and four nieces and nephews.
Cremation has taken place.
A burial service will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2024 at 11 am in Westside Cemetery, Carter Road, Brookfield, Nova Scotia.
