Leslie L. Farris
1951-2026
Leslie L. “Boom” Farris, 75, of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 10, 2026 while under the care of his loving family.
Born March 5, 1951 in Morgan County, W.Va., he was the son of the late Leroy James and Betty Alice Stotler Farris.
Les attended the Independent Bible Church in Hedgesville, W.Va.
He worked through the years at Commercial Shearing in Berkeley Springs, W.Va., Dixie Narco in Ranson, W.Va. and most recently at Fleetwood Travel Trailers in Hancock, Md.
He spent his life enjoying hunting and fishing. He loved the Lord first and foremost and then spending time with his family. He had a unique way of making people laugh with his wit and humor. He was always willing to help where ever he was needed.
Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist anymore- Or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”
Les is survived by his wife, Denese C. Youngblood Farris, just shy of 53 years of spending their lives together, one son, Kevin Farris (Julie) of Hancock, Md., one daughter, Tessa Burch (Roy III) of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., three sisters, Darlene Stotler, Judy Clingerman and D.J. Stanley, all of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., two brothers, Danny Farris of Great Cacapon, W.Va. and Pat Farris of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., seven grandchildren, Derek, Cody, Jessi, Olivia, Luke, Zak, Scooter; three great grandchildren, Cameron, Cash, Marissa and one more soon to arrive, Hank and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Terry Farris, Mike Farris and Bob Farris.
A memorial service will be conducted at a later date.
Arrangements are being handled by Helsley-Johnson Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 95 Union Street, Berkeley Springs, W.Va.
