Robert (Rob) Linden Leslie

Robert Linden Leslie (“Rob”) passed away on June 24, 2026.

Known for his quick smile and friendly demeanor, Rob leaves a hole in the lives of everyone he touched. He helped create the family we became. He didn’t just say he loved his family—he showed it every day.

Rob spent many years serving others through his work in mental health for the State of Washington.

Being a Papa was one of the greatest joys of his life. He embraced that role wholeheartedly, helping lay the foundation of what it means to be loved.

Rob was known for his exaggerated stories, his readiness to help, his kind heart, and his unwavering dedication to his family and friends.

He will forever live in our hearts and minds as we carry his love with us through the years ahead.

He is survived by his wife, Linda Leslie; his mother, Mary Hayes; his stepfather, Bob Hayes; the children he proudly claimed as his own, Brandon Davis and Meghan Davis; and his granddaughters, Eloise Staehli and Paislee Davis.
