Lee Hayes Obituary
Lee is survived by his sister, Cindy Reagan (Troy); his brother, Bruce Hayes (Traci); his sons, Rick McCauley (Aairona), Scott McCauley, and Eric McCauley (Jodi); as well as five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two nephews.
Lee attended Westminster High School in Westminster, CO, and later pursued higher education at Red Rocks Community College in Golden, CO.
Lee proudly served in the U.S. Naval Reserve as a member of the Seabee Division for six years, demonstrating his dedication to his country.
Lee embarked on a successful career as a Diesel Engine Mechanic and held various service-related positions. Additionally, he excelled in industrial engine sales, showcasing his expertise.
Beyond his professional achievements, Lee had a passion for cars and trucks. He enjoyed building, racing, and car shows, indulging in his love for automotive craftsmanship. This hobby brought him joy and allowed him to connect with fellow enthusiasts.
A small gathering of family and close friends is planned for late August to honor Lee's memory and celebrate his life. His legacy as a devoted family member, military veteran, and skilled mechanic will forever be cherished.
Please join us in remembering Lee Carl Hayes and offering condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.

Lee was a true friend. He had a big generous heart and always made himself available to help others in any way that he could. He never failed to greet me with a big smile and warm hug. He always genuinely wanted to know how others were doing. He opened his heart and home in so many ways including hosting his annual BBQ/Picnic at his shop 211 Construction every July. Everyone and anyone was welcome including children for which he rented bouncy houses and slides, etc. He pulled our church´s 40th anniversary float with his tractor and later gave kids rides during the following celebration at the church. My grandson, at the time, was fascinated with the toy tractor he had displayed in a glass jar attached to the tractor:). Many winter months, he generously offered up the warmth of his shop to decorate the Christmas float for the parade. These are just a few of the things Lee did for others. He touched many lives with his warmth and generosity. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Lee Hayes, heaven is brighter tonight because you are now there.
In this picture, we are on just one of our Christmas nights out in Colorado. We always had such wonderful times together, dinners, hog roasts, Seabee picnics, farm visits, tractor talk, Memorial days in Strasburg and so much more.
Hug Sandi and Randy for each one us. We have a deep hole in our hearts and our tears are heavy. You are and will be sorely missed friend. We will see you again one day.
