LEE TURNER, III (BO) went home to the Lord on
June 8, 2016, at the age of 58. Bo was born to Lee &
Dianne Turner in old St. Luke's Hospital on August 28, 1957.
He lived most of his life in Jacksonville and graduated from Bellevue High School in Nashville, and graduated with honors from UNF with a degree in Physical Education. He worked as a physical trainer, at Blue Cross, and did contract work for CXI. He loved to sing, and to play drums for musicals and for recordings. He once surprised his mom and dad by singing "The National Anthem" at a Sun's game. One summer he went to YMCA camp and won first place in every category with tennis, archery, and the like. His great joy was riding his bike long distances every day and riding for the MS Drive to Daytona and back in the fall. He ran the Gate River Run many times -- once with his dad.
He loved blueberry pop tarts, rice & cookies.
He is survived by his parents, brothers Kelly (Mary) and
Gavin (Lori), nieces and nephews: Matthew, Carmen,
Griffin and Emily, and his cat, Squeaky.
Bo's family and friends will gather for a memorial service at George H. Hewell and Son Funeral Home, 4140 University Blvd., S., on Tuesday, June 14, at 2 p.m. The family will receive friends from 1 - 2 p.m.

Lee was my friend for many years. He lived in the same apartment complex as I. I remember the first time I met him, he was jogging and I said hey, how far are you running, he laugh and said 10 miles, I said see you later. He said no, you can do it, try. I said ok, I will start tomorrow. From that day we become good friend. We both loved to ride our road bikes, work out, loved our cats, pizza and the lord. He was one of the kindest people I had ever known. He gave me a photo of a cat...

We must say what a beautiful memorial service for "Bo" We were so blessed to have been there and to hear and see the beautiful and inspiring service . I think even God in His Way took time to look in and see His name being praised and songs from the heart. God bless the Turner family...

Lee and Dianne, I'm so sorry to read of Bo's passing. Although I hadn't seen him in many years, I remember how caring and wonderful he was. He generously helped me and played drums for musicals I directed at San Jose Baptist and Arlington United Methodist many years ago and I have never forgotten. God bless you both and your whole family at this time. You are loved. - Virginia and Jim Dickert
