Lee Ducker Obituary

Dear Lee Anne and Family - We just heard the sad news this morning, several months too late. Although we left Charleston 10 years ago we will always remember and cherish those dear times we spent together on Stinson Drive; listening out for each other's children and spending many fun evenings together.



Of course, I've known Lee ever since St. Andrews Elementary School. He was always such a kind and happy soul - always there with a great joke, and his hearty laugh will never be forgotten.



May G-d grant you the strength to continue with your life through this dark period, and my the wonderful memories of the time you spent together be a continued source of comfort for the rest of your lives.



All our love,

Lee Ann, Ray and I are so sorry about the passing of Lee. Sorry I'm late with this, but we've had some medicial problems and I just saw it in the Holy Comforter Newsletter. Our sincere sympathy goes out to you and the family and we hope the days ahead will be brighter. Love, Nell and Ray

Isn't it wonderful to have roots in one place all of your life? To me West of the Ashley is a city of its own. Most everyone I have known since the 70's was at Lee's funeral.

It is sad that you can't see more of all the people who touch our lives like Lee, even for those of us who have not seen Lee in a long time,he sticks with you the rest of your life as such a wonderful caring and fun guy. He will be missed by a lot of people.

to the ducker family, so sorry for your loss. we will all miss a true character and great human being.

We thought we were going to be too late for the viewing Wednesday but were amazed to find the long line still waiting to get in when we got there. It was a long drive but worth it all. LeeAnn showed such strength and grace during all of this, and it is good to know Lee is finally at peace and out of pain. We will all miss him. Thoughts and prayers will continue for all of you.

Dennis,

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Lee. It's hard to believe that we can lose someone so young and full of life. It doesn't seem fair. I lost my brother Ed in 2004. Only time seems to heal. May God be with you all at this time of need. I'll be praying for you all. Mary { The Parkwood Gang and Class of 1974)

Dear LeeAnne, Dennis and families,

I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. This has been a most difficult time I know, and with God's help, you will feel the loving prayers of others holding you up. Lee was a remarkable man, a friend and brother to many, and his Spirit will live on in the lives of those he touched.

God Bless you,

Donna Self Mahrenholz

TO ALL THE DUCKERS I DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT WORDS TO COMFORT YOU ALL, BUT YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND HEART. I DON'T KNOW NOW WHO TO CALL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT MY CAR AND UP LIFTING CLEAN JOKES(?)AND TALL TALES! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND KNOW HE IS WATCHING OVER US. LOVE, BETH.

Dear LeeAnne,

When we were in high school, Lee and I played basketball at Stono all the time. Once, after a very rowdy group of games, LEROY punched me right in the eye. The next day at school, I saw him right away, as I walked up the campus,and thought OK, here it comes again-we are really going to go at it now. That boy grabbed me, hugged me, and apologized, over and over again. He apoplogized nearly everyday for the next YEAR! And we have always been friends.

By the turn out of family and friends on Wednesday, it was clear that LEE... INFECTED each of us with his love and friendship, and he will surely be missed.

All the best,

Brad

We are so sorry for your loss. The ceremony was beautiful. It's just what Lee would have wanted. Lee was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed. We love you, Leanne, Roger, and Emily.

Lee Ducker was the best neighbor Randy and I ever had. He was always there with a smile and never ending jokes. He always had the most distinctive laugh and I can hear it right now. I know he will be desparately missed, but please take comfort that he is definitely sitting with God right now, maybe even telling him a joke.

I am very sorry to hear about Lee. He will greatly be missed. Everyone who went to Stono and to St. Andrews will miss him. Your family has been put on the prayer list at First Baptist Church of Sevierville. Our prayers will be with you and your family. Denny Marvin

Dennis/Judy & LeAnne

We came to the funeral home, the line was so long and we couldn't stay. We wanted you to know that we are so sorry to hear of Lee passing away. He will be missed by many.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I babysat for Lee and Lee Ann many years ago, and feel for all of you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Mr Ducker, what a character, he was so full of life and will be sadly missed from the "Parkdale Gang"

Lee Ann and family,



We were saddended to hear of Lee's passing. We know that it is not easy to lose a loved one and our prayers are with your family. We have fond memories of his "fishing" trips to Royal Harbour and getting to hear his stories.

To Lee Ann, Roger, Emily, and Ms Mary, Dennis, and Judy,

How do you write in such a small space all of the life long memories you have of someone. Pick out one to recall and smile and chuckle. Then after knowing someone over 35 years, you could spend a life-time of chuckling and smiles. There were many my friend. And all will remain in my heart and my mind. He did fight the good fight. But we can all rest now knowing he is in a better place. I will miss my friend. Though we didn't see each other as often as we would have liked, the friendship never wained. May the whole Ducker family now have peace knowing that Lee is in a much better place now. May the all the members of the Stono Gang bow our heads at the loss of another fine member.

The Duckers,

Lee was such an amazing man. Always so hospitable. You may want him here with you now, but he was so important that God needed him more in heaven. I miss you all. Sorry I couldn't be there for you. Lots of love.

To the Ducker family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. And to Roger I know losing a parent is one of the hardest things to go through, but it is so important to remember all the good times and know your dad is in a better place.

To Lee Ann and family - Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. Our lives have been enriched and entertained by knowing and loving Lee. Your love is such an inspiration and May God Bless You and give you strength.

Lee Anne and Family,



I extend my deepest sympathy to you all at this time. My prayers and thoughts are certainly with you. Look to the hills for there you shall find your strength. Lee and his crazy sense of humor will

indeed be missed.

Love,

Donna Noisette/Cromer Johnson

To the Ducker Family,

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I grew up only a few doors down from the Duckers and have had Lee on my prayer list since I have heard from my mother and father. My prayers will be with you through this time of transition. God bless you all.

We are so sorry for your loss. He was definitely one of a kind. He was always one to show concern for others and put a smile on many faces. He is probably making someone laugh right now!

It is with great sorrow to hear of Lee's passing. We will miss his great laugh and pranksteris ways. A friend and Stono Gang loved by many. May the Lord comfort your family at this time. Sincerely, Nathaniel J. Camp (Nat)

To my dear family, we have all lost a special man. There are so many memories rushing in that it's hard to put them in words. We have had so many wonderful times over the years. We will cherish them all, especially that last time we were together. We love you all very much and know that Lee is watching over us now with Uncle Roy and Dad. You are all in our prayers. We love you Lee, always.

To The Ducker Family,

My prayers are with you in your

time of sorrow. " The Lord is

near to the broken-hearted, and

saves the crushed in spirit."

I know Lee will the entertaining the other good souls with his famous jokes!



We'll miss him.

LeAnne: Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. Please let me know if Charles or myself can help in any way. Lee was a wonderful person, and will be missed a lot. Love, Ellen

Dear LeeAnne,



You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.....please know I am here for you always....



Love,



Annie

Lee will always be remembered as a fighter. I will remember Lee for always being the life of whatever was going on. He would always seem to bring laughter to any situation. I will always cherish the memories we had growing up in Stono Park, especially when we had the big snow in the early 70's. What great memories.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Lee Ann, Roger, Emily, Dennis, and Ms. Mary. We can all take comfort that Lee will not be alone as he passes from earth to his new home in heaven. He will be able to be with his father and his childhood best friend Rusty G.

Our pryers are with you!



Adam and Randi Fabian

Lee was my best friend. We've been thru good and bad together, but I can't remember any of the bad. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Keep watching over all of us Lee. Bill Hunt

Lee Anne and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. May God's love sustain you now and in the future.

I'll surely miss Lee. We've had so many great memories and I'll cherish all of them. My love goes out to the Ducker family.

Dennis, sorry for your loss. I know he fought a tough battle. Continued prayers for you and your family. Frankie

To the Ducker family, and the remaining members of the Stono Gang:

I know you will find what comfort there is in remembering the life Lee lived and the friends and family he loved.It is impossible for me to attend the sevices, but to those of you who walk down to the river bank, or out on the dock, to tip one last cold one for Lee, count me in. Peace and love to all. Good man gone. Stan

Lee's strength throughout the past 3 years and the strength of the family is an example of the highest quality of character and compasion. I am so very proud to have been his friend and will always remember the good and bad times. I will miss my Stono Brother! Sincerely, Herb

for me today is a very sad day, yet one of relief that my good friend of over 35 years and his family have finally found peace.it is impossible to pick out one memory of growing up with lee.there were just too many good times. he was a good friend, a good man and i will miss him.

Lee, my cousin and most importantly my friend. The times we spent together since wearing cloth diapers til our last time together at OctoberFest in Savanah will always be in my heart and memory.



We could always talk about anything and everything. Or just sit and know that nothing further needed saying. I have been dreading this day for some time, but, he has gone on to join Roy and Glenn in the giant seafood buffet in the sky. Including a beverage to wash it all down.



We are all better people for knowing him and I will miss him greatly.



My Mom would like to send her heart felt wishes to you all. We both send our love and continue to keep you all in our prayers as you carry on in the comming days.

May the memory of Lee live with all who knew him for the many years to come.

My heart-felt condolences to you all. I remember Lee growing up at Pincrest church. I met him again at a restaurant about a year ago. He fought the good fight and is now at peace with the Lord. God bless you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Much love Melinda & Rocky.

With Love and Deepest Sympathy. We are so sorry we can not join you at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

It brings me much sadness to hear that Lee passed away. He was a good friend of mine for over 30 years. We went to St. Andrew's High together. I will always remember his smile and laugh. We kept in contact when I moved back to Charleston. Beth Middleton Lloyd and I send him get well cards the last two years. My thoughts and prayers are with his family now. Live everyday to the very fullest and may God bless you all.

Lee Anne and family, Sheryl and I offer our thoughts and prayers for you at this time.Words cannot express the amount of comfort that you need, but we hope that knowing people are thinking about you helps a little. We know Lee was a great husband, father, and grandfather. You can be comforted to know that he was a pleasure to be around and talk with. We worked together many times in the shipyard and enjoyed talking about our friends and families. He was very proud of his children and was very blessed to have a grandchild.

To The Ducker Family,

Our hearts are filled with sorrow over the passing of Lee. He was a great person and no doubt this world has lost a wonderful guy. We will keep your family in our prayers. Take care.
