Leslie "Les" Edward McGerr, February 5, 1943 – September 5, 2022

Les was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on February 5, 1943, and went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 5, 2022 at the age of 79. Les lived his entire life in Lincoln graduating from Lincoln High School and being a businessman extraordinaire all his life.

Les’ first love was the Lord Jesus Christ, whom you would have heard about if you had at least a brief conversation with him. He cared about those around him and so he was passionate, fearless, and diligent that all heard the gospel message of salvation from sin through the Lord. 

Les was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Mary and his siblings Edward, Vivian, Ellen and Jo Anne.

Les leaves behind his children Randy, Wendy, and Kelly as well as his brother Dan and sister Marylu.
