Lee was a third-generation real estate agent who enjoyed working with his clients, many of whom became friends. He retired in 2011 after 32 years. Lee was a constant champion for his hometown and the lower Russian River area, and over the years contributed a great deal of his time and expertise to many local organizations by serving on numerous boards and committees. A longtime member of the Monte Rio Chamber of Commerce, he served as its president and was on the chamber’s board of directors for several years. As a realtor, he volunteered on numerous committees, both local and countywide, serving as chair on many. A tireless member of the annual Monte Rio Variety Show Committee and a cofounder of the annual Big Rocky Games held on the Fourth of July weekend in Monte Rio, he was always active in participating and supporting local events and other endeavors, which improved and enhanced his community that he so dearly loved. Lee was comforted by his family and many friends over his final days and will be missed by all who knew him. He died after a long battle with declining health on Dec. 10, 2019. He was 63.
