May 9, 1948 – May 1, 2021

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Leslie Renner on May 1, 2021 just one week shy of his 73rd birthday after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Devoted loving husband of Janis for 31 years.  Loving father to son Lawrence (Lise) Renner and daughter Jessita (Nicholas) Anderson.  He cherished his grandson Benjamin Anderson and was looking forward to meeting Ben’s baby brother due in June.  Les will also be remembered fondly by his 10 siblings, their spouses, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and their families.  He was predeceased by his parents, Adolf and Tobeya, and brothers Larry and Edward.

Les was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on May 9, 1948 and moved to BC at 16 when a friend was driving west.  He had several jobs until he joined Woodward’s Foods, later Canada Safeway, for over 25 years in Surrey, Vancouver and Richmond.  He semi-retired when we moved to Pinantan Lake in 1997 and Kamloops in 1999.  He continued to be our handyman.

Les loved being outdoors. He took great pleasure in building garages, sheds, aviary, chicken coops, fences, cement pond with waterfalls and a beautiful cabin where we will continue to admire his hard work.  He enjoyed nature, fishing, quadding, snowmobiling and country music.  He was a wonderful plumber, electrician, contractor, engineer and planner.  There was nothing Les couldn’t do.

Condolences may be sent to the family on www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com.  To honour his memory, please take time to enjoy life outside with your family and listen to the birds and nature’s sounds.
