He would never have a bighead over people bragging on him and would just sluff it off and was more a gentle lamb that cared more about others feelings than his own.He was always doing for others.Bless my son's heart to die the way he did.No warning, just gone to sleep never to return.Only God can keep me sane over this.I love you my sweet son.

I had been training Lee for the last couple of months in his new job andI didn't know him before he started work but I grew to like him very much. I dropped him off at his house last Wednesday and I said something funny to him and he looked back and laughed. I can still see his smile! We at We Care Lawn Care are still stunned at his passing and though we didn't know him very long he showed us what a great person he was. He will be missed!

I am truly sorry to hear this. I went to high school with Lee and grew up in the same neighborhood. We had just spoke shortly before. It just doesn't seem real. GOD must have had a plan for him there and needed a special angel.He had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back. You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
