We are saddened to share that Leslie Kenyon Branner passed away on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
He will be known by many in the community for his kindness and dedication to others. He loved his country and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. Throughout his career, he traveled the world, but he was most proud of his time with Teledyne Brown Engineering, where he worked on the Pathfinder Program. He was also instrumental in the display located at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
His four children, along with his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, will deeply miss their “Poppa.”
Hazel Green Funeral Home is honored to serve the Branner family. (family provided obituary)
