Leslie Phillip Snorgrass, 70, of Tecumseh, entered into eternal rest on March 30, 2023. He was born September 12, 1952, to Norman J. and Barbara M. (Hines) in Lakewood, CO. His family moved to Tecumseh when he was a teenager and he remained on his family farm until his passing.
Les had been a heavy equipment operator. He was a retired maintenance worker for MODot and a former school bus driver. He particularly enjoyed seeing the children that rode his bus. They were all very dear to his heart.
When he wasn’t working, he never missed the chance to go hunting or fishing. Les loved the outdoors and always looked forward to deer season each year. Opening weekend of rifle season was always an event, with many friends coming together to hunt at his farm. His wife was one of his best hunting buddies.
More importantly, he loved his family and friends. He would do anything for anyone at any time. All it took was a phone call and he would be there in a few minutes.
Most importantly, he loved God. He was a member of the Wade and Cross Street Church of Christ in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
