Brian Joseph Lee

Brian Lee passed away on January 6, 2026 in Sacramento, CA after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Modesto, CA on August 26, 1974 to Tonette (Nunes) Wilkerson and Stephen Lee and from the start had an energy of joy and celebration.

Brian was a graduate of Grace M. Davis High School and was proud to work for over thirty years in the hospitality industry. He was a dedicated member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. He devoted his time to Relay for Life through the American Cancer Society.

If you ever had a conversation with Brian, you know that his brightest lights in life were his children, Normandie and Lawson and his nephew, Liam. He spent hours playing games with them, driving them to school and practices and of course, teaching them how to dance. He will live on in their laughter and all of their inside jokes. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family and friends.

Brian is preceded in death by his father, Stephen Lee. He is survived by his children, Normandie and Lawson Lee, his mother, Tonette Wilkerson (Robert) and his brothers, Brandon Graham (Kellie), David and Christopher Lee. He will also be greatly missed by all family members and friends.

His memorial service will be at Franklin & Downs Funeral Home on McHenry Ave on February 21st at 11:00am.
