Lester "Les" L. Railine

Lester L. Railine “Les,” born to Barbara and Gene Railine on September 7, 1962, passed on to the next phase of existence on March 13, 2026.

Anyone who had the privilege of knowing this man can agree there was a power in his presence. He was honest, fair, and unapologetically authentic. His energy was as contagious as his smile. To know him was to love him.

Les was a master artist. He played guitar, drew, painted, and sculpted. He enjoyed spending his time shooting, fishing, singing with his kids, or simply making his loved ones laugh. He loved building and riding motorcycles. Later in life, he discovered a passion for forging knives from bone and antlers. He was a man of many interests and never stopped tinkering.

Les is survived by the Railine family and a tribe of others whose lives were significantly impacted by his love. He was a devoted son who thought the world of his mother, a proud brother, and a father who never faltered. He accepted his children as they are and taught them the meaning of real, unconditional love.

Les embodied the measure of a life well lived. To have known such a man was a gift—an amazing blessing—and the world will never be the same in his absence. May such a true heart live on forever.

Les is, and always will be, MORE.
