It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lowell Leslie Wood Jr, a remarkable individual who touched the lives of many with his kindness and selflessness. Leslie was a true embodiment of what it means to be a great guy, always going above and beyond to help others in any way he could.

Leslie was born February 9th, 1950 in Stratford, Oklahoma to Lowell Leslie Wood Sr and Susie (Hottel) Wood, the fourth of eight children. He passed away December 13th, 2023 in Oklahoma City at age 73.
Leslie graduated from Stratford High School with the class of 1968 and married his first wife in 1969. From this union they had two children.

In 2005 Leslie married his 2nd wife and gained another son and daughter.

He was preceded in death by his Dad Lowell in 1992, his Mom Susie in 2017 and his brother Gerald in 2022.

Survivors include;
His wife of the home, daughter and husband of Stratford, daughter of Stratford.
Son and wife of Stratford, Son and wife of Arkansas and Sisters
One brother and wife of Ardmore, OK. Fourteen grandchildren and many cousins, nieces and nephews he loved very much.

Throughout his life, Leslie dedicated himself to making a positive impact on those around him. Whether it was lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or providing words of
encouragement, he was always there for his family, friends, and even strangers. His compassion knew no bounds, and his generosity knew no limits.
Leslie had a genuine passion for serving others. He volunteered at various community organizations, dedicating countless hours to making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. His commitment to helping others was truly inspiring, and his impact on the community will be felt for years to come. Leslie spent his entire life in the Stratford Round up Club, six years in the United States Army Reserves beginning in 1970, twenty five years with the Stratford Fire Department (twelve of those years as Chief), 15 years serving with the Stratford ambulance service-EMS and six years with the Town of Stratford. Leslie spent almost forty years with CM Mays Lumber in Stratford and loved interacting with and helping people. He especially loved his co workers and all the close friends made throughout the years.
Beyond his acts of kindness, Leslie had a joyful spirit that was contagious. He had a knack for bringing smiles to the faces of those around him, and his positive energy lit up every room he entered. He had a way with animals that was rare, his calm nature and patience would settle even the orneriest animals. **This gift was tested at least once a year when Shawn would bring mules for shoeing, pulled from the pasture, only being handled each September for a Wyoming elk hunt. The look over his glasses and concerned grin was priceless. Leslie always got the job done, no matter what.
Whether it was through his witty sense of humor or his ability to find joy in the simplest of moments, Leslie had a way of brightening even the darkest of days.
Leslie's legacy of compassion and selflessness will forever be cherished. He leaves behind a profound impact on the lives of all
who had the privilege of knowing him. Although his physical presence may no longer be with us, his spirit will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched. Leslie was never known to speak a negative word about anyone.
In honor of Lowell Leslie Wood, let us remember the importance of helping others, spreading kindness, and living a life filled with love and compassion. May his memory serve as a reminder to us all to be the best versions of ourselves and to always lend a helping hand to those in need.
Rest in peace, Leslie. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy will continue to inspire us all.
