Franklin Lee Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jan. 27, 2026.
Franklin Wilmer Lee, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 25th, 2026, in Pasadena, Maryland. Born on November 1st, 1941, in Baltimore, Maryland, Franklin's 84 years were marked by love, dedication, and an unwavering spirit.

Franklin is survived by his devoted wife, Sharon L. Lee, who was his constant companion and support throughout their many wonderful years together. He will be deeply missed by his children: Melanie Lee-Barrentine, Franklin Lee, Jr. and his wife, Danielle Bradshaw-Lee, and Joshua Lee. His sister, Carrie Tracey, will forever cherish the memories shared with her beloved brother.

Franklin's legacy and love continue through his grandchildren: Caree Lee Jackson and her husband, Christopher, Ashlee Lee, DJ Bradshaw, Katelyn Lee, Patrick Lee, Mary Lee, as well as his great-grandchildren: Daniel Jackson, Faith Jackson, and Lucia Rose Blitzshaw, who brought immense joy to his life.

He is now reunited with those who preceded him in death, including his parents, Wilmer Franklin Lee and Carrie Regina Lee, siblings, Mickey Dominic Price, Sandy, and William Baraline, and his nephew, Johnny Tracy.

Franklin made his mark as a truck driver for Exxon Mobil, delivering gas with diligence and a firm commitment to his work. His relentless work ethics and his love for the open road serve as an enduring inspiration for those he leaves behind.

Beyond his professional life, Franklin found joy in hunting, training his dogs, and doting on his beloved pets. He was known for his love of the great outdoors, enjoying countless hours riding in his Jeep. A devoted follower of the Lord, Franklin was a kind and gentle soul whose presence brought comfort to those around him.
