Brian David Leslie, aged 57, passed away on November 14, 2024 at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan after an extended illness. In accordance with his wishes there will be a memorial celebration of his life on Tuesday, November 19th at 12:00 pm. The service will be at Portage Chapel Hill Church, 7028 Oakland Drive, Portage, Michigan. Memorial contributions may be given to the SPCA of Kalamazoo.
Brian was born on October 11, 1967, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Brian spent his formative years in the area and graduated from Portage Northern High School. He took great pride in earning a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University on the same day his dad earned his doctorate from Western Michigan University. Eventually Brian found out his true passion lay with nursing. He worked as a Licensed Nurse Practitioner for twenty years in a variety of capacities such as homecare, nursing homes, and the VA hospital. As a night owl, he was always willing to take third shift, where his patients were always grateful for the care he provided them.
Brian enjoyed playing games with his family and friends. He had a good sense of humor, which came out with the jokes he liked to tell and the pranks he liked to play. Even in his last two years, he liked to post funny memes with a dark twist to them.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Tracy Leslie; and his daughters, Hannah, Jenna, and Carolyn, along with his mother Patricia Leslie (nee Graham) who resides in Florida. Brian was preceded in death by his father, Larry Leslie.

The Leslie family is being cared for by the Avink, McCowen & Secord Funeral Homes and Cremation Society, 5975 Lovers Lane, Portage, MI 49002. 269-344-5600.
