Adrian was born April 8, 1944, in Clinton, Iowa, to William and Iola (McMahon) Lee. He graduated in 1962 from St. Mary's High School. He was a veteran, having served in the U.S. Navy from 1963 to 1967. On April 8, 1972, he was united in marriage to Carolyn Nelson at St. Irenaeus Church in Clinton. Adrian was a member of Assumption and St. Patrick's Churches. He worked for 32 years at Equistar, retiring in 1999. He enjoyed investing, fishing and golfing. There will never be words to describe how special and wonderful of a person he was.
Survivors include his wife, Carolyn; three sons, Mark (Angela) Lee, of Goose Lake, Chris (Tina) Lee, of Lantana, Texas, and Brent Lee, of Oskaloosa, Iowa; and five grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister and one brother.
