Ralph Spencer Leslie, Jr.
1971 - 2014
Ralph Spencer Leslie Jr., 42, passed away on Sunday, March 16, 2014 in Valencia, CA. Ralph was born April 3, 1971, in Haverhill, MA to Jane Elizabeth and Ralph Spencer Leslie Sr. Ralph Jr. came to California at a very young age (4) and remained here throughout his life.
Ralph Jr. has been a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees of Local #33 for twenty-one years and loved his job. He enjoyed music, sports, playing pool, playing darts, video games and being with his family and friends. There was never a dull moment. He was always the first one to start the decorations for any holiday. He was also known by all as "Ralphie". He was very loyal to his family and friends and if you needed him for anything at any time, day or night, it only took a phone call and he would be there. He was everyone's "Protector".
Ralph is survived by his three children: Nicole Cathleen, Cody Dean, and Zaine Owen all of Canyon Country, CA; his sister Brenda Ann Fife of Palmdale, CA; his niece Ashley Jane Fife of Palmdale, CA; his mother Jane Elizabeth Leslie of Canyon Country, CA; his father Ralph Spencer Leslie Sr. of Bend, OR; and many uncles, aunts, and cousins on the East Coast and Florida.
Ralph, a father, son, brother, and uncle, you will never be forgotten and we will all miss and love you always and forever, bushels and a peck. You are now "free" with the capabilities of going wherever your heart desires. ~Until We Meet Again.
Services will be held at Eternal Valley Memorial Park, 23287 N. Sierra Highway, Newhall, CA on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. (661-259-0800). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Breast Cancer Society (http://www.breastcancersociety.org/getinvolved/giveadonation/)

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
By Christina Rossetti

Ralphie you will forever be in my heart!!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!

Every time I try to compose something to say, the tears run down my face. I will never forget as you watched me trip over the concrete curb. You tried so hard not to laugh. I fell at least six times before I hit the ground. You held the laugh in until I said, my brother just laugh. It was pretty funny watching this old girl go down. We sat there and laughed togather. I will never forget you. Never. Yes Scotty I wlll give you a ride home after work no problem. You are my friend.

Ralphie, I never got to meet you but you are my Brother. May God bless your soul and encompass you in His love and light for ever. May God bless your family and allow them to find some kind of peace and joy knowing you are with our Heavenly Father and we will all be reunited in His love.
God bless and keep you.

To my dearest family, I am so sorry for our loss. Ralphie ( I know he doesn't like to be called that) but I have for my whole life called him that and I will continue he will always be Ralphie to me. I sit here and I think about when you guys moved to California how devastated I was I was losing my two cousins who I loved to spend time with. I felt like I was losing a brother and sister. But after the years and still staying close and involved with you all I learned that you did not have to be in the same state just to be close with your family. I loved to hear the stories about setting up jobs at different shows, the California life was so intriguing to me. I always looked forward to the next phone call to hear what was going on next. Living in a state like Vermont we don't see many rockstars or movie stars. So to hear about what the next show was going to be was amazing to me. Made me so happy. Made me think I was living an exciting life through all my wonderful California Family. I love you guys and I know Ralphie is hanging with Gram and Gramps Melvin. I am sure he is telling them all kinds of stories about all of us… Since all of us kids never got to meet Gramps. Rest in piece Ralphie. We will all miss you so very much but you will always be in our hearts forever and ever. Love ya all
