Beattie, I. Leslie
Died tragically on Monday May 9, 2022 near Thornbury at the age of 71. Les of Thornbury, formerly of Stayner, beloved husband of Mary Jane (nee Watt) for 48 years. Loving father of Lisa Mead, Michael (Jenny) and Jessica (Ian Rowbotham). Cherished papa of Jordan and Nathan Mead, Kaylan and Sloan Beattie and Ivy and Evan Rowbotham. Dear brother of Eleanor (Bob Watt), David (Jocelyn) and Kim (Roger Burkholder). He is predeceased by his parents Irvine (2001) and Kay (2005). Les will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews, his extended family and his many friends. Les was a graduate of the Ontario Agriculture College at Guelph University. He farmed with his father and his Uncle Ross and his cousin John as a partner of Beattie Brothers Farms. Upon retirement, he pursued his passions with enthusiasm – alpine skiing, cycling and travelling the world with Mary Jane. He cherished spending time with his family whether it was at a ski resort, cottaging or boating. He also enjoyed reading, writing prose, tackling a difficult crossword or contributing to his community through his involvement with the church and the agricultural society. He was a kind and humble man who has left an indelible mark upon his family and his community. Friends are invited to join his family for a Service of Remembrance at the Centennial United Church, 234 William Street, Stayner on Tuesday May 17, 2022 at 2 o’clock.
