Leslie Thomas Pullens, 62, of the Catahoula Community, passed away on Friday, December 25, 2020.

Leslie was a member of Mount Carmel Baptist Church. He deeply loved and supported the youth and their respective ministries.

He served and protected the State of Mississippi as a law enforcement officer with the Mississippi Department of Transportation. He retired as a Captain with 35 years of service. He was a veteran of the Mississippi Army National Guard and a former chief with the Leetown Volunteer Fire Department.
