Lee was known for being a hardworking and loving man. He drove a school bus for 34 years as well as maintained them during and after he retired. He was a local mechanic for Ocate, Wagon Mound and surrounding areas for many years. He was always willing to help anyone that stopped by in need of help, and he always took time to visit and catch up with them, whether he knew them forever or just met them.
In his free time he enjoyed working on the perfect upkeep to his yard. Working on cars and helping others with fixing everything from trucks, busses, cars, motorcycles, tractors and UTVs. He'd always take the time to teach you a little something along the way and always with patience. He loved his crosswords and solitary card game, watching Alaska's Last Frontier, Mountain Men and all the sorts. He went multiple times a day to Naranjos to check cows, feed and water them. Cut and block wood when the weather was nice and even sometimes when it wasn't just to have something to do for his day. He enjoyed maintaining the roads on the ranch by cutting trees or tossing rocks out of the way. He enjoyed spending the day with his wife picking pinon when the season came. He loved his Polaris Ranger or as he called it "La Mula" and everywhere he could get to in it, and even those places he shouldn't. But the smile on his face and chuckle when he realized where he was always made it worth it! He loved to sit and tell stories about his day or anything fun or funny from his past, loved hearing your stories too. He enjoyed giving everyone a hard time and make jokes where he could. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten by those that had the opportunity to know him, even if it was just for a short time.
