Not sure what to say?

The human machete says it all. He truly was a spiritual man who I'm sure helped guide others to another path less traveled. RIP Big fella.

Both Della and Dwight Lee were wonderful people and did well by their daughters, Kelly and Jenny! For 24 years I have known this exceptional family and felt blessed. Go well, be well.

To Kelly and Jenny and the rest of the family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I live out here in Dexter and the weather is unforgiving. Your father was like a brother to me. We would nearly always talk about our Christ when he would come around. I have some great stories to share with you. I pray that you would take comfort in knowing that your dad truly loved Christ and the people around him. May God bless and keep the family.

To me as a kid and cousin, he was the "Great Dwight Lee" We loved him for all he did for the Lee family in New Haven, R.I.P. Chandler Bancroft Lee (Baltimore, MD)

Dwight was instramental in my recovery. He helped me let God take my shame by telling me that "there are no mistakes only lessons that God takes me through to bring me to the place where God can use me" Dwight Lee

Dwight remains the greatest all-around athlete in New Haven High School history, and he was a star-among-stars on two of the best football teams in MSU Spartan lore. But his greatest legacy is the profound impact he had on so many troubled souls once he found the courage and the will to conquer his own demons. Ultimately, his life story is one of triumph, fulfillment and service to others.

Our community has lost one of God's angels here on earth. We will miss him dearly, but I know Harry is waiting in heaven to greet him.

Have a gentle rest, Dwight. You have earned your star!
