Leslie Alexander Gresham, 4 years old passed away December 6, 2025. Leslie was born June 6, 2021, in Kansas City, MO to Jessica Alexander and Leslie Brandon Skye Gresham.
Leslie was a boy full of joy and happiness with smiles that would light up the room and melt your heart. He acquired the nickname Boo from Nana and Papa before he was born as he would always cover his face during the ultrasounds as if he was playing peek-a-boo.
Leslie loved music, shaking his rattles, wiggling his booty, and he especially loved squeaky noises that would bring out the most precious giggles. His favorite characters were Bluey and Paw Patrol that he loved listening to on his tonie. One of his many favorite songs was "Wheels on the Bus". and if it was played for him when he was upset it would calm him and eventually bring out his beautiful smile.
He started preschool at age 3 at Mark Twain Early Learning Center and he loved going to school. Leslie's time here on earth was all too short but he touched so many lives in his 4 and a half years here on earth with so many wonderful precious memories made.
