Leslie was born on April 23, 1943, in Beaufort, North Carolina, to the late Leslie and Avis Asdenti. An Island man to his core, he loved the speed of fast boats, fishing at Back Sound and duck hunting whenever possible, and of course, going to Cape Lookout was his favorite destination. With an extremely skilled ability to rebuild engines, there wasn’t anything he wasn’t afraid to tackle and fix with ease and excellence.

Leslie was a loving, funny man who was happiest when he could brighten someone else’s day with laughter and a smile. His kindness, joy, generosity, and leadership were characteristics that defined him and blessed numerous lives. Leslie will be fondly remembered as a loving father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.

He is survived by his sons, Leslie Carroll Asdenti Jr. and wife Monica of Otway and Phillip Guthrie and wife Danette of Newport; sister, Pam Mizell and husband Gurney of Newport; brother, Arnold Asdenti and wife Wanda of Harkers Island; granddaughter, Lesley Ann Asdenti; grandson, Hunter Chance Guthrie; and furry companion, his dog, Zeus.
