Lee was a modern-day Renaissance man and a proud Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War. He had many passions. At the top of his list were hunting, shooting, fishing, building airplanes, houses, cars, motorcycles and boats. He was known as a quiet and gentle soul who loved to joke, read, tinker with projects and play with his dogs. Lee loved to teach and in return was admired by his students. Culminating a storied teaching career at many schools, he taught science, history and special education at Kingman High School for many years before retiring. His family and friends always looked towards him for his wisdom throughout his life. He was always available to help fix whatever was broken and be a friend whenever needed.

Lee is preceded in death by his son, Michael; his sister, Phyllis; his father, Glen; and mother, Velma.
