David Wayne Lee was born March 31, 1951. He died tragically on January 10, 2024, the victim of a hit and run driver. He was loved and will be missed by his sisters, JoAnn Fund (Uwe) Crocketville, SC and Karen Lantz (Mike) Mt. Pleasant, SC. His immediate family will celebrate his life later this month in South Carolina.
David shared his life with a second family in his German Village neighborhood. Among his many long-time friends there were Candi Clemens and Tom Murray. That family is grieving and celebrating David in their chosen way. A Celebration of Life at the Hey Hey will be held on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 4:00 P.M.
His third family was the owners, employees and patrons of Skully's Music-Diner where he enjoyed working the last 20+ years. They have posted a heart-warming tribute to him on their facebook page.
To David the world was a stage. On that stage he graciously shared his friendship, kindness, love, wit and humor. Each of us were fortunate to have been the recipients of his life's performance.
Donations in his memory may be made to the charity of your choice. Private arrangements with COOK & SON - PALLAY FUNERAL HOME.
