Lee had a passion for music since the age of five, the keyboards being his favorite!! He had a stage presence no matter the crowd!! There were times he was so into a performance you would think the keyboards were going to fall over!

Lee's number one passion was his wife, Lillian Marie. If he could say anything to her it would be ''be still, I am still with you''. Everyone needs to cling to the fact of how many he loved. He loved everyone!!

To say that Lee will be missed is an understatement!! Everyone who loved him now has a void that can only be filled with fond, funny, loving memories. The one promise we have, is if we are to be saved as Lee was, we will be with him when our name is called. Rest easy in the fact that Lee is now in a place of perfection! No pain, no sorrow, reunited with family he hasn't seen in many years, the most precious being his baby boy, Aaron Lee!!

In closing, please keep in mind it not a goodbye. It is until I see you again.

While the date on our stones are important, the part that means the most is the dash in between. Lee and Lillian filled that dash with more love and adventure than could ever be put into words.

A Memorial Service will be held 2:00PM Monday, August 18, 2025 at the Roller-Daniel Funeral Home Chapel.
