Lee was the sweetest soul you could ever know. An avid sports fan with a special love for the Thundering Herd and was rooting for them at the very end. He was a fighter his entire life and proof of God’s healing power, love and grace. He was burdened by worldly worries but always found a smile for everyone. We are lost without you but hold onto the peace of God’s promise of salvation and the promise to meet our needs and know you have the riches of Glory. We know your precious smile is making heaven brighter and we will rejoice when we see you again.
