Lee Sagerson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 24, 2024.
Lee Sager(son) passed away at age 49 on October 23, 2024, in the presence of his loving family.

Lee was born on March 2, 1975, to Ronald and Frances Sagerson, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He was welcomed into the family by his three older siblings, brother, Steve, and sisters, Erin and Ann.

The family eventually moved and settled in Keller, TX, where the family expanded to include stepfather, Scott Curtis, and two more sisters, Ashley and Casey.

Lee graduated from Keller High School in 1993, attended one year of college at USC, and then was accepted into West Point Military Academy. He graduated from West Point in 1998, became a helicopter pilot, and served with the 82nd Airborne division. Due to an injury, Lee was medically retired from the military in 2003.

Lee lived a colorful life. He deeply loved music. He appreciated the music of others, but he also loved to write and perform his own. He was a gregarious and hilarious person. I think when people think of Lee, they think about his incredible sense of humor. Nobody could tell a story like Lee, and nobody could make you laugh like Lee. Lee's big and witty personality is what his friends and family loved most about him.

Lee is survived by his mother, Frances Curtis; his siblings, Steve (and wife, Eve), Erin, Ann, Ashley (and husband, Daniel), and Casey; his niece, Annabel; his nephews, Braden and Cade; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Lee will be forever loved and missed.

What an honor it was to play cello on The Messenger song he wrote. I just learned of his passing. I´m heartbroken. Sending my condolences to the family.

I remember Lee from our ROTC days at SC in `93. I had gone to high school in Texas too, and that was a great group of guys in that Freshman ROTC class. We were a mischievous bunch. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to the parents and siblings.

Many of our fondest memories often come from just a few people. Lee was one of those people. As his Plebe roommate, I listened as he taught himself to play the guitar, listened when he talked about Airborne school, and listened when his crazy team leader made outrageous demands of him. We enjoyed a lot of weekend passes together, and he ate Thanksgiving dinner with my family. Always polite, always considerate, always faithful. Be thou at peace, Lee.

Deep condolences on your loss. While I only knew Lee in college, he was one of the bright spots in a gray world. His musical talent and great spirit will live on on those who were fortunate to meet him. Many grieve with you, Jon (USMA 98)

Please accept Amy and I's condolences on Lee's passing. I knew him back in college. I loved his positive vibe in a place that was a such a grind for many of us, just never seemed to phase him. I'm near DFW, so if I or his other North Texas classmates can help at all, please let me know.
Be Thou at Peace, Lee
