I am sorry for the loss of one my good friends. Lee and I met at Cutty's campground a really long time ago and were partners in crime up until he left for colleage, then slowly over time as life changed we loss contact with each other. During are younger years, we raced and jumped bicycles, attempted to chase girls, snuck booze out of hs parents bar, took ski trip with his sister cheryl and her friends, and we worked on many of his first cars. We had many many wonderful adventures and I have a treasure trove of excellant memories to look back on. To Cheryl I am truely sorry for your loss, your brother was a great man and wonderfull friend he will be missed hole heartedly!
I knew Lee thanks to his pitties - Denim, RJ, Voodoo, and Diamond. I was lucky to be entrusted with the care of his babies as I was his vet for the last 7 years. He loved those dogs so much and would do anything for them. He was a character and a hoot, and you always knew when he was coming in the clinic. I'd often see his truck in the parking lot before I even knew he was in the building. He had a fantastic sarcastic wit and sense of humor, and he always tried to do the best for his babies. He would be quick with his questions and always knew the right things to ask. I won't forget him and enjoyed our phone calls and texts. He definitely kept me laughing, and there wasn't anyone else like him. Sometimes when I would call, I'd catch him out having fun when I had a late Friday night call about labwork, and I just knew it must be so fun to call him a friend! He was a unique soul, a kind person, and taken much too soon. I will miss him.
I’m still at a loss for words. I admire Lee for how he took care of so many people & his love for all of his fur babies. Lee had a heart of gold. He’ll always have a special place in my heart. I’ll be keeping Cheryl, family & friends in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Lee and Rest In Peace❤️
Cheryl I am so sorry to hear of your brother! Prayers of strength for you!

I will always remember what a gentleman Lee was, even when his friends razzed him about it he didn’t care. Lee did love his cars, he could tinker around in the garage for hours with them, they were always spotless and well maintained. I also remember he loved his Ducati motorcycle (crotch rocket) as he called it…I trusted him so I went on a few rides, he said hold on tight and I did! His mom Donna was very happy when he sold it:) There are many fond memories….
I love that he took such great care of his furry friends, I will happily donate in his memory.
Rest In Peace Lee❤️
