Leslie Owen Winsea, 53, of Kansas City, Missouri, beloved brother, son, nephew, uncle and to many a dear friend journeyed on to the eternal resting place we call Heaven on February 2, 2020.

He was born on November 12, 1966 in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Leland and Joan Bent Winsea Sr. Leslie attended the Kickapoo Nation School system where he met most of his dear friends he stayed in contact with over the years until his passing. Leslie worked for Action Mailing in Kansas City before he became ill. He was so dedicated to his music, dancing and as we all know his cooking. He had a great passion for preparing many dishes.

From something simple to a few great difficult ones. Yes, he boasted and bragged especially on face book. You were so lucky if you ever had the chance to taste and enjoy his gourmet cooking.

He is survived by three sisters, Christine (Jeff) Pewamo of Horton, Kansas, Lisa Winsea of Topeka, Kansas and Sabrina (Gary) Wabski of Mayetta, Kansas; four brothers,  Michael Winsea of Horton, Kansas, Leland (Marlene) Winsea Jr. of Kansas City, Missouri, Robert Winsea of Hiawatha, Kansas and Joe (Melissa) Winsea of Horton, Kansas; numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Carol Burgess and Brenda Warner.

A wake service will be held at 6:00 P.M. on Friday, February 7, 2020 at the Kickapoo Community Building. Burial will be at 8:00 A.M. on Saturday at the Winsea Cemetery on the Kickapoo Reservation. A special message may be sent to the family at www.dishon-maple-chaney.com
