On Friday January 6, 2023, Leslie Zielinski passed away suddenly at the Sault Area Hospital with his family by his side.
Son of Sharon and the late Rick Zielinski. Best friend and partner in crime to Muriel. Cherished father of Jestine, Brittney (Marc), Brianne (Mike), Xavier, Kyle and Lyanna. Special Grandpa-Z of Riley, Oakley, Danica, Cameron and to an expected new grandson in April. Fondly remembered by many family and friends.
Leslie was the biggest Toronto Maple Leaf fan, always seen wearing one of his Toronto Maple Leaf hats. Anyone that knew him would tell you he was the life of every party, anytime the music came on, he had to have it blasting at the highest setting.
Leslie enjoyed spending time with those he deeply cared about. Like when him and Muriel moved to Sault Ste. Marie back in 2021 and the family went tenting, making memories that would last forever.
“Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all
the love you want to give, but cannot. All
that unspent love gathers up in the corners
of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in
that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just
love with no place to go.”
