Leslie Hary Meyer

December 24, 1939 ~ November 22, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Leslie H. Meyer on November 22, 2024, in Athabasca, Alberta at the age of 84 years. Les was born on December 24, 1939, in Fox Valley, Saskatchewan, to Samuel (Sam) Meyer and Hannah Helmer. He grew up with five brothers: Allen (Pat), Bruce, Cliff (Betty), Ernie (Sabrina), and Art (Linda).

While visiting his brother Cliff in Edmonton, Les met the love of his life, Carole Booher. They married on March 17, 1962, and celebrated 62 wonderful, happy years together. They bought a home in Jasper Place, where they raised their three children: Shauna Avitan (Ivan), Shane Meyer, and Lesly Meyer-Smith (Nelton).

Les enjoyed working as a Milkman and Supervisor for Silverwoods Dairies. He then worked for Old Dutch Foods (which his kids loved) and retired from there in 1989. The family spent many years camping at Lake Isle before buying their family cabin at Baptiste Lake, AB, where they later retired to.


They also enjoyed many cruises and vacations around the world. As Snowbirds, they spent the first two years exploring Western Mexico before settling in Quartzsite, Arizona, where they spent 30 wonderful winters. Les loved quading in the desert with his friends and was still doing so at 80. He was glad to have been retired more years than he worked.


Les was known for his wit, sense of humor, and big heart. If you needed a hand, he was always there. He was the greatest grandfather to his grandsons, Jordan Avitan and Ricardo Smith. Les also leaves behind nephews, nieces, brother and sisters-in-laws, and some really great long-time friends. Family and friends were very important to Les and he loved showing off his extensive photo collection of memories. Les was a sports enthusiast. He was an Edmonton Eskimos season ticket holder for many years in the ’70s and ’80s and a die-hard Edmonton Oilers fan.


Please remember his wishes to celebrate the wonderful life he lived. There will be no memorial service at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or charity of your choice.
