The oldest and most special, the one he taught to walk when the doctors said she never would, is Deborah Lynn Stover. The designated oldest daughter who carries his middle name, is Cindy Jean Stevens and her significant other, Rick Morris. His beloved third daughter, is Donna Jo (Brian) Coombs and finally, his baby, is Brenda Mae Ellis and her significant other, Robert Murray.

He is also survived by his sister Suzy Depoy. He had four other siblings, Norma Baber, Robert Stover and Roger and Olive See that preceded him in death. Les retired from Eli Lilly in his early 60s after surviving a quadruple bypass. He cheated death many times since then as he fought hard to stay with the ones he loved. He loved anything western, including his idol, John Wayne. His favorite hobby was as an amateur gun dealer and he was so proud of the short time he actually had his own shop. He loved his guns, a good poker game or game of pool, collecting coins and he loved his Indianapolis Colts. Most of all, he loved his family and always wanted to spend time with each and every one of them. His favorite time of year was Christmas, when the entire family would fill his home to the brim. Life will not be the same without our cowboy.
