Leslie sold livestock feed for 35 years all over the West Texas area and truly enjoyed his feed selling job and all the many friends he made through the years on the road. He and Punk also ran the American Jr. Rodeo Association for 25 years and loved the young cowboys and cowgirls they watched compete at such a high level over the years.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Charles McFadden; his sister, Della McFadden; and one nephew, Ray McFadden.
He is survived by his wife Punk of 55 years; his two daughters, Audrey Whatley and her husband J. B. and Patty Ezell; one granddaughter, Leslee Ray Cornwell, and her husband Tyson; and one great-grandaughter, Caitlynn Brook Cornwell.
