A memorial was held at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium at 4 p.m.
In true Leslie fashion, the event included singing, music, comedy and audience participation.
Her official Instagram account announced the commemoration with a black-and-white photo of Leslie as a child along with her latest photo.
The caption read, “We will never say goodbye. We will keep you alive in our memories and with your stories. Funeral and Memorial, 11/20/22 — Chattanooga, Tennessee.”
Actress Lucy Hale commented, “❤️✨??.”
Country band Little Big town commented on a bunch of red heart emojis as did Michelle Pfiefer.
Linda Thompson wrote, “Beautiful sweet Leslie! How you are missed! You still have the same cherub look you had when you were a kid! ❤️??????.”
“We’ll Never Say Goodbye”
“When there’s a seismic impact, you can’t avoid continuing to feel the vibrations. Keep living, Leslie.?,” replied another.
Actor Justin Long commented, “If there is a way to access Instagram in the afterlife, I think Leslie is checking these messages and being “ticked” by them. I remember referring to people who follow her here as “followers” and she corrected me,” I prefer to call them ‘friends,'” he said. When I was able to hang out with him in Chattanooga, I watched him treat fans who would approach him with kindness and humor – just as you would a friend. The joy and happiness of his life will always stay with me – so also his unique voice when I say the words “good” and “sh**” in order ?❤️.”

Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly said, “If Leslie were here with us today, I would like to thank her for her contribution to our culture throughout her acting career, for carrying us through the dark days of the epidemic with her wicked sense of humor, and for always inviting us into his heart and world,” said Kelly. “Leslie opened herself up to all of us and never stopped sharing the love and light she brought.”
Leslie died on October 24 after suffering a “medical emergency” behind the wheel of his BMW. He lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the side of a building in Hollywood, California. Leslie was on her way to the set of “Call Me Kat” at the time of the accident.
His Instagram account continues to post pictures and videos of the late actor to bring light and joy to his six million followers.
