Leslie Newton Walls, born on March 15, 1966 in Hammond, Indiana, passed away to be with our Lord and Savior on November 8, 2020, at age 54, while at his home in Lake Station, Indiana.
Les was an avid hunter and fisherman and was well known in the marshes and on the shoreline. He favored Jasper-Pulaski Game preserve as his hunting area and was relentless in his pursuit of Lake Michigan trout and salmon from shore. Hunting and fishing were his passion.
Les was preceded in death by his parents, Janice Faye (Jett) and Earnest Newton Walls, his sister Kara (Michael) Gruenwald, and his brother Earnest (Brenda) Walls.
Les is survived by his wife of 23 years, Susan (Owen) Walls, his daughter Jennifer Peppin, his teenage son Trevor Walls, his sister Kathy (Danny) Hurley, his brother Kenneth (Karen) Walls, and numerous nieces and nephews.
