Sept. 2, 1959 – Sept. 2, 2018
Leslie “Les” Leroy Cheshier, 59, of Foster died on his birthday, Sept. 2, 2018.
He was born Sept. 2, 1959 in Lebanon to Lavern Le Roy and Janet D. (Hufford) Johnson.
He was raised in Lacomb as well as the family homestead in Foster. He married Dawn (Mayhew) and together they raised Krystle.
Mr. Cheshier worked as hard as he played. He had a host of talents – logging, machinist, mechanic, excavator – and was a true farm boy through and through. He had a passion for hot rods and motorcycles; the more acceleration, the better. He lived in the moment.
Mr. Cheshier loved everything outdoors and saw beauty everywhere. He will be remembered for his compassion and kind heart. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to help someone or an animal in need.
He is survived by his mother, Janet Gordon of Foster; brother Mark Cheshier of Foster; sister Wanda Hamar of Lebanon; step-daughter Krystle and son-in-law Cody Miller of Lebanon; one grandson, also of Lebanon; nephews Edwin Eby and Daniel Stotz, and niece Samantha Stotz, all of Lebanon; and many other friends and loved ones.
Mr. Cheshier was preceded in death by his father Laverne; sister Christy; and wife Dawn.
A celebration of life was held Sept. 9.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
