Obituary
Leslee Allen Andrus, 65, of Rexburg, died Friday, Oct. 10,2014. He was born September 16, 1949 in Rexburg, Idaho to Merrill Allen Andrus and Harriet Pauline Jones Andrus.
He graduated from Shelley High school and attended two years at Idaho State University in auto body repair. In the Fall of 1978 he met Cindy Farnsworth and they were married August 17, 1979 in the Idaho Falls LDS temple.
Leslee worked at Stoddard Mead Ford , C & L and Christensen Auto Body shops before starting and operating his own auto body shop, Blackhawk Auto Body, for the past twenty-two years. He had an affinity for classic cars and was always working on one. He was very meticulous and fair with the work he did for others. He built his business and reputation by his perfected work and knowledge he showed people. Not only did he repair cars for his business, this was his life hobby and enjoyment. He enjoyed attending the various car shows and seeing the work of others.
Other hobbies he enjoyed when time permitted was camping, especially at Redfish Lake or Bear Lake, fishing and hunting for his next project car. He had a caring heart for cats, his own, others or the many strays that found their way to his home. He had a strong love and was a great example to his family and his sudden passing will leave them wanting to continue his legacy of working, helping and loving selflessly.
He was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and held various callings of which he strove always to do his best.
