Woong Bin Lee's Obituary
Woong Bin Lee passed away peacefully on June 25th, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on February 17, 1989, in South Korea, and his life was a testament to unwavering faith, deep love, and quite strength.
Diagnosed with cancer in 2022, Woong faced every challenge with grace, resilience, and hope. Throughout his treatment, he remained steadfast in his positivity, never allowing fear to overcome him. His strength came not only from within but from his unshakable faith in Jesus Christ, whom he loved and followed with all his heart. He lived as a reflection of Christ’s love; humble, kind, compassionate, and deeply faithful, always encouraging those around him to keep believing, even in the darkest of times.
For sixteen beautiful years, he shared his life with his beloved wife, Heekyung Lee. Their love story was one marked by patience, understanding, and deep emotional connection. They were partners in the truest sense; growing together, learning together, and lifting each other up through every joy and hardship. Together they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and simple joys. One of their favorite pastimes was watching Pixar movies, especially Wall-e and Ratatouille, which reminded them of the beauty in small things and the extraordinary in the ordinary. These quiet, joyful moments were just one example of the deep love they nurtured every day.
Woong was also deeply cherished by his many close friends, with whom he shared countless hours of laughter, conversation, and meaningful connections. Whether it was over meals, playing soccer or basketball games, or quiet nights filled with honest conversation, he valued quality time and poured himself into those relationships. His friends will remember him as someone who listened deeply, cared sincerely, and made everyone feel seen and valued. He loved his friends with an open heart and was deeply loved in return.
He was lovingly supported by his parents, older sister, and cousins, whose steadfast prayers and faith carried him through life’s most difficult moments. Their unwavering support was a foundation he deeply relied upon.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Woong Lee will be held Thursday July 3rd, at 10:30am at Wildwood Chapel in Restland Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Event Center at Restland Funeral Home, where friends and loved ones are invited to gather, share memories, and honor his life.
