Leslie Eugene Feldick Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Leslie Eugene Feldick was born June 6, 1927 to Ted and Lu Feldick at home on the farm near Buffalo Center, Iowa. Les was raised on the family. He graduated as class president in 1944. As a young man, Les enjoyed farming, sports, history, and listening to good gospel preaching on the radio while he milked the cows. Les enrolled at the university in Missoula, Montana. Out of love and commitment to his family and the land, he returned to the family farm before graduating. Les joined the Army in 1950 and served at the Army/Navy Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas, attaining the rank of Sargent. Les met Iris Gray on Valentine’s Day in 1953. They were married June 21, 1953 Les and his new bride moved from Hot Springs, AR. back to the family farm near Buffalo Center, Iowa. They raised three children in the love and admonition of Jesus Christ. Early in his farming career, Les began teaching from the Bible to a small homes Bible study group under the leading and encouragement of a close friend and missionary. Other weekly home Bible studies were soon requested of Les, who was blessed greatly by God with the gift of Bible teaching. God’s Word did not return void. Many hearts, minds, and souls were transformed to the glory of God through those small home Bible study groups. Les moved his family to an Oklahoma cattle ranch near Kinta, OK. in 1975, not far from where Iris was born and raised. Iris continued as a registered nurse and Les developed a cow/calf operation. Not long after moving to Ok., Les was asked to lead a morning Bible study with the Stigler police force. Upon invitation, other weekly Bible studies began in Tahlequah, Wilburton, Muskogee and McAlester, OK. A request to televise a Bible study led by Les in Tulsa, OK., was made in 1990. This locally televised and temporary program began what would become a ministry of world-wide impact. The sound biblical teachings of a Holy Spirit led, self-taught farmer/rancher continues to inspire ad instruct millions worldwide. Those close to Les will remember him for his love of family, the land, the livestock in his care, his joy of reading, and his thankfulness to God for his life’s vacation, and house-on-a hill with beautiful views in every direction.
