William Harry Lee

On Friday, July 26, 2019, William (Bill) Harry Lee, MD, loving husband and father of four children and four stepchildren, passed away at the age of 72.

Bill was born on September 2, 1946 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Harry and Alma (Collart) Lee. He graduated from Topeka High School in 1964. After earning undergraduate degrees in economics and political science at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, class of 1969, Bill went on to complete his medical degree at the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City. He then continued his training at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles for his internship and residency in OB/GYN. After working as an OB/GYN for more than 40 years and delivering over 6,000 babies, Bill, made a transition to age management. He was the board-certified age management physician at Age Management MD in Centennial, Colorado. Bill was passionate about helping his patients reach their individual health and wellness goals.

His desire to help his patients improve their well-being drove him to write the book "Over 50 Feeling 30" and contribute to the book "Journeys to Success."

He not only loved helping patients but also his wife, Sue, with her charity, Sock It To Em Sock Campaign. He rooted for the Denver Broncos and the Kansas Jayhawks. In fact, he led the "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" chant as the Jayhawk mascot while he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Kansas University. Additionally, Bill loved his cats, ice cream, and pie – although not necessarily in that order. He also loved singing and entertaining family members by playing the guitar – and the only song he knew, Puff The Magic Dragon.

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife Sue Elizabeth (Enochian) Lee of Denver; daughter Amy, husband Wynne and son Pierce Hunter, of Tucson, AZ; son Ryan, wife Julie and children Aurora, Cordelia, and Calvin Lee, of St. Louis, MO; son Scott Lee, of Fort Collins, CO; son Alex Lee, of Littleton, CO; stepson Taylor and wife Andrea Berkholtz, of Denver, CO; stepdaughter Whitney and husband Greg, children Maxson and Benton Chiate, of Tiburon, CA; stepson Tony and wife Erika, children Sam and Maddy Cesare, of Sydney, Australia; and stepson Ian and wife Kristin Cesare, of Silverthorne, CO. In addition, he is survived by his sister Sondra and her husband Bob Rathjen, of Lincoln, NE ; brother Paul Lee and Cheryl Roberts, of Durango, CO; sister Nancy and her husband Nick Funston, of Brevard, North Carolina; and 3 nieces and 5 nephews.

A Memorial Service is to be held at 3 PM, August 16, 2019 at First Plymouth Congregational Church UCC, 3501 S. Colorado Blvd. Englewood, CO 80113 with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Sock It To Em Sock Campaign a 501c3 that provides new socks for men, women and children experiencing homelessness.
