Lee was born on February 11, 1930 near St. Joseph, Missouri. The family made their way to Florida in 1948 and in 1951 he joined the United States Army, serving his country during the Korean Conflict.

Even with permanent disabilities, Lee worked hard to provide for his family on the farm. He was a faithful member of the Nazarene Church as long as his health permitted. Mr. Erixton was preceded in death by his wife Belva in June of 2010.
Survivors include his four sons and daughters-in-law, Bill and Margaret Erixton, Terry and Cathy Erixton, Gary and Kim Erixton and Mike and Shand Erixton, all of White Springs, FL.; his brother, Robert Erixton (Linda) and sister, Doris Cooper, both of White Springs, FL.; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
