Leslie Stoutemire

Leslie Stoutemire-Mr. Leslie Stoutemire, affectionately known and loved by everyone as Mr. Les, departed this life on Sunday April 11, 2021.

Leslie was born August 1, 1938 in Cleveland, Ohio to Bertha and William Stoutemire.  He relocated to Youngstown after doing a tour in the United States Army where he was a Marksman.  He then worked as a laborer for Sheet and Tube Steel for several years until the shutdown.  He then moved to Campbell and performed janitorial duties at OK’s Store  better known as Angelo’s. 

Les was an avid book reader and loved doing crossword puzzles.  His love for fashion always had him dressed to the tee with his daily polished shoes.  He will always be remembered for wearing his hat cocked to the side of his head.  He always wanted to be addressed as Les no matter who you were.  He loved watching the Indians and Packers play ball.  He talked jive all the time.  He enjoyed people and everyone loved him especially the children in the neighborhood who he always passed out  candy.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his children, Ms. Leslie, Ms. Viza, Ms. Carla, and Mr. Michael Stoutemire all of Cleveland and Ms. Lisa Stoutemire of Youngstown.  Six grandchildren Mark, Marquis, Orlando, Cyrus, Michael Jr., and Jerminnie, and four great grandchildren Trayvon, Markayla, Mark Jr., and Malachi and two siblings Willie Eddy and Frances Young.
