To a wonderful and favorite uncle,  and family member.  I always enjoyed our times together when I was younger and the adventures that we had.  Bike riding, hiking and trips to Canada.  My kids were able to get to know you and come join you in Monroe with the tractor and creek.  This too will give them fond memories.  You will be missed but I know that you are in heaven with my parents looking down at all of us kids.  Until we meet again.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Leroy.  It was so good to talk with him at the class reunion last year.  Thoughts and prayers to the Tieskoetter family.

Uncle Leroy is my favorite Uncle in the whole wide world! He was such a Blessing in my life! He was a second Dad to me. I was able to talk to him in private and poor out my life to him. He comforted me with his love and wisdom. 
I’m Blessed that my kids was able to spend time with him at his BBQ at his house. We will all miss that. He was a compassionate and giving person. I looked up to him being one of the greatest man that God has created on earth. He had so many talents and gifts! He could fixed everything and anything! He was an adventurous person before and after his diagnosis with Parkinson’s. Participated in bike marathons, hiking, skiing, boxing, soccer, racket ball, singing, dancing, playing instruments, so many other activities that was endless! He was a go getter! Nothing stopped him for doing what his heart desired. His passion lead him to do what ever he wanted to do! He was a great example of a father, and friend to all that came into his life. He will be missed dearly. My heart hurts deeply, but knowing he is healed whole and with no pain sickness and disease in Heaven , it gives me peace that he is happy in eternity with our Savior Jesus Christ. I Love You Uncle Leroy. I thank God for you being in my life. ❤️❤️🙏🏼

I met Leroy through Rock Steady Boxing in Redmond about a year ago.  Although he was affected by Parkinson's i noticed he ran during our class outside and he always had a determined smile on his face --- and he took off like a bat out of hell.  He also was our designated cadence shouter during our exercise, in a booming voice!  
Leroy was a wonderful man and he will be missed. My condolences to his family.



To Phi and Family,

We were so very sorry and saddened to learn of LeRoy’s passing.  We always remember him at many a crazy Honda party and his kind, calm and warm presence.  He will be sorely missed.

May God Bless you all with his peace and comfort...

All our Aloha,
Aunties Diana and Mindi 

I had the pleasure of Leroy's company on a recent 5 day  PasstoPass hike from Chinook Pass to White Pass on the Pacific Crest Trail.  Trail names are given to hikers by other hikers.  In our last conversation after the hike I gave Leroy the trail name "Iron Man" for his true grit and determination to complete the 29 miles, unaware that his son Phi-Khanh called him "Iron Man" because he was a welder and had an ability to make or fix anything of metal. You will be missed by many but spirit lives on Leroy "Iron Man" Tieskoetter.

 I first met Leroy in Carol Robertson‘s rocksteady boxing class at the Carnation senior center in Carnation, Washington. He had a smile that lit up the room and a booming voice that made the rafters shake. And for a big man he was incredibly fast on his feet.  Yet he possessed a gentle spirit that touched me and the other members of the class in ways we never imagined, so much so that those few months during the summer of 2016 were maybe some of the best of my life. Thank you, Leroy. May you find peace.

Most heart felt condolences to Leroy's Family and Molly.  Leroy was a wonderful man a great friend for the past 8 years.  His passion for life and battle again the effect of Parkinson's was an inspiration to all that knew him.  He will be greatly missed by many.

Our deepest sympathy ...... we send our hugs and prayers to your family...Leroy was James' 1st cousin.....Joe (Hedwig) was James' dad's brother....thru the years it  seems like families drift apart...but just know we care and are thinking of all the family....Peace and God Bless Leroy's memory......James and Sally Tieskoetter 

I met Leroy in early August while on the 2019 Pass to Pass hike on the Pacific Crest Trail.  Very few people have the sheer grit and determination I saw in Leroy on that hike.  RIP Leroy.

Leroy, my friend, poet and fellow boxer, you will be sorely missed.  Nobody could raise the roof like you did with your clear, loud resonant voice that let the entire world know that there is life to live.   You always had a kind word and were a great help to those needing a helping hand.  The world won't be the same without you, but we take comfort in knowing that you will rest in peace.

I didn't know Leroy well but had the pleasure of boxing with him at his Rock Steady class. I remember him having a fierce determination and I think a mean right hook.  He also became our cover model for our magazine in the summer of 2018 with this photo.  All of us here at APDA Northwest were saddened to hear of his passing and send our condolences to his family.

Dear Family,
My deepest sympathy to you at this time.  Leroy and I went to 12 years school together in Ossian, Iowa.  It was so good to see him at our 50th class reunion and spend some time visiting and hearing about his family and his life in Washington.  We will be keeping you in our thoughts.

Tieskoetter Family-
Sincerest sympathies on the loss of a wonderful & brave  man.

Have known Leroy since 1st grade at De Sales.

Have attached his high school graduation photo,
that was in my file.  It brought back many memories.

God bless and  give you strength during this
difficult time.

Heartfelt and sincere condolences from the Ossian DeSales Class of 1968.  This is a snapshot taken at our 50 year reunion in August 2018.  We will all remember Leroy for his kind and gentle manner and the determination with which he faced the challenges of each day.  Rest in peace, dear friend.
