Leslie (Les) Charles Douglas
December 25, 1960 - January 3, 2023
Les passed away peacefully at home with family by his side on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
Les grew up in Miami and Gimli, Manitoba. As a teen he spent a lot of time in Miami working on uncle Reggie’s farm. He eventually moved to Miami, where he and his wife Kylee opened up the Chatterbox Cafe and Lounge. Many memories were created during the 16 years at the Chatterbox. He loved the antics of all who came through the door.
Les loved a good game of golf. His only competitor was himself; he always was trying to beat or improve HIS score. His dart playing was much the same, however, he did enjoy beating an opponent. Les spent some time coaching his daughters’ baseball teams. He treated each of those girls as if they were Blue Jays stars and thought they all had the potential to be great! Les loved all sports and would give most things a try. Les adored his family and would do anything to make them happy. He had a kind heart.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 33 years, Kylee, their daughters, Ashton Douglas (Joel) and Kira Douglas (Tyler), his brother, Ryan Douglas (Michelle), his sister, Joyce Forscutt (John), his aunt Myrna Mann and his uncle Ron Follett. Les also leaves mother-in-law and father-in-law, Phyllis and Wayne Knight, sister-in-law, Erin Buick (Bob), brother-in-law, Trent Knight (Barb), many nieces, nephews, cousins and their families and many friends. Les was predeceased by his mother, Leah Douglas (Follett), father, James (Jim) Douglas, brother, Raymond (Butch) Douglas, sister, Julie Peterson, mother-in-law, Sandra Knight and brother-in-law, Trevor Knight.
A heartfelt thank you to the Cancer Care team of Winnipeg. A very special thank you to Boundary Trails Health Centre Cancer/Chemo team and Dr. C. Woelk. Thank you to our Palliative Care team and the homecare nurses that made caring for Les at home possible. I appreciate all of you and everything you have done.
Les did not want a funeral, so we will honour his wishes, however, wherever you are, raise a glass, smile and remember him.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Les’s memory to the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation designated to Cancer Care or Palliative Care.
