Paul Alan Leslie

Paul Alan Leslie, 59, of East Fallowfield Township, PA, passed away on Saturday, December 27, 2025, in Coatesville, PA. He was the son of Lois Ann (Young) Leslie of East Fallowfield and the late Paul Landis Leslie Jr.

Born in West Chester, PA, he was an area resident all his life. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, serving in Germany. He most recently worked as a grinder for the Lenape Forge in West Chester.

Farm life was his life’s passion and where he felt most at home. He spent most of his life around horses, serving as a farm manager for several families from New York to Maryland. A collector of tractors, big and small, he also spent countless hours restoring vintage tractors. Always quick with a joke or to help a friend, he will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Besides his mother, Lois, he is survived by his siblings, Jill Mowday of Gratz, PA, and Tim (Holly) Leslie of Chambersburg, PA, and nephews, John Mowday, Joshua Mowday, Jacob Mowday, Jeremiah Mowday, Clinton Leslie, and Peyton Leslie.

Funeral services will held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. from the Wilde Funeral Home, Parkesburg, PA, with visitation starting at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be at a later date in Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, PA.
