Lee R. Yackee

Lee was a gentle kind soul who took pleasure in brightening others lives. He always had time for a joke or a gag, often quipping about some silly notion. Anything to bring a smile or laugh. Under that lightheartedness lay a man determined to success in business and better his life and those around him. Sandy was the lucky girl who captured his heart, but many others benefitted from his kindness. Lee never forgot a friend or overlooked a chance to help others. Right up to the moment he left...

Lee was our neighbor for over 35 yrs. He was a hard working man always busy within the area communities including our town of Martin. We had so much fun in our younger years with Sandy and Lee. They were both great people. Lee took care of Sandy after her accident for 28yrs. Not a lot of men would do that, but Lee wasn't ordinary. He was one of a kind, a pillar of Martin and a man I will never forget. We will miss you, Lee!
