Mr. Dennis Wayne Lee, of Ridgely, TN, passed away Saturday, September 20, 2025. He was born in Lake County on December 4, 1961 to the late Leon and Judy Lee. Dennis worked for over 12 years for Goodyear Tire Manufacturing in Union City and later in maintenance with the Northwest Correctional Facility in Tiptonville. He is remembered for his love of tinkering on various projects and his ability to fix most anything. In his free time, he enjoyed walking and other outdoor activities, especially fishing. His favorite thing was to spend time with his family and friends.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Sue Bennett Lee, a daughter Donna Bennett, a brother Kenny Lee and was greatly loved as "Papa" by his grandchildren; Ben Taylor, Carley Taylor and Jack Blakley. He is preceded in death by his parents.
