Mark David Leslie

Mark David Leslie, known to most as “Fuzzy,” passed away on September 22, 2025, at Edgewood Health & Rehabilitation in Three Rivers, Michigan. Born on November 6, 1958, in West Branch, MI, Mark lived life on his own terms; fierce, loud, and unapologetically real.

Fuzzy earned his nickname not for gentleness, but for his bear-like stature and ferocious presence. He was intimidating, commanding, and never one to back down. Raised to be “the man of the family” after losing his father at a young age, Mark was taught toughness—and he expected no less from those around him.

His life was fueled by rock and roll, wild living, and a no-holds-barred attitude. He made no apologies for the choices he made, and he lived with reckless abandon, true to himself until the very end. His motto, “Kickin’ Ass and Takin’ Names,” wasn’t just a phrase it was how he moved through the world.

Mark built Leslie Enterprises LLC from the ground up, orchestrating appliance delivery and logistics with grit and hustle. He was also a member of the German Chapter of The Flying Wheels motorcycle club in Flint, Michigan, where he found enjoyment and freedom on the open road.

Though Mark faced his share of demons, he confronted them head-on. He lived by his choices, never wavering, and held fast to his belief that he would finish life on his own terms and that he did.

Despite his rough edges, Mark’s pride in his children and grandchildren ran deep. He was a father to Nichole Jordan, Elizabeth Leslie, Ashlie Leslie, and Mark Leslie Jr., and a grandfather who lit up at the mention of their names. His love was fierce, his loyalty unwavering.

Mark joins his parents, Sue and Loren Leslie, his brother, Michael Leslie along with his sister, Robin Eckert, in eternal rest. He leaves behind a legacy of raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and a life lived without compromise.

Ride free, Fuzzy. You were one of a kind.
