Meral Leslie Preece
1946—2024

Meral “Les” Preece, 77, of Louisa, passed away Sunday, June 9, 2024, at his home following a brief illness.

Les was born June 12, 1946, in Inez, the son of the late Bradley and Arcona Cline Preece.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Linda Fitch.

He was a United States Army Veteran serving during the Vietnam War.

There truly is nothing that can be said on paper to express the kind of man that Les was. He often referred to himself as “Super Man,” and through and through, he genuinely was. It just does not feel right using the word “was” quite yet. Les is and always will be bigger than life. He is the life of the party. He is the salt of the earth that we all need in our life. He is an avid golfer who enjoys golfing with his longtime friends, Joe, Bartman, LC and Zeth. We will all endeavor to be even half as good of a man as him and will always remember him. We love you, Les.

Survivors include his wife, Brenda Jenkins Preece; sons Jimmy Hensley, Russell Hensley and Paul Hensley; a nephew, Jason Fitch; and a niece, Christine Fitch.

A memorial service will be held at a later date to be announced by the family.

Care for Les and his family has been entrusted to our family at Wilson Funeral Home.
