On Wednesday, September 29, 2021, Leslie “Les” Whitehead was tragically killed while operating a piece of heavy equipment. Les was a valued and appreciated team member and he will be missed dearly. This has been devastating and we are incredibly saddened by this tragic event. There are no words that can adequately express the sorrow of this loss.

Les was a life-long resident of Haltom City and has worked for Haltom City since 2015. He was dedicated and loyal to this community and to the Haltom City Public Works Department. Please keep Les’s family, friends, and co-workers in your prayers.
