Michael Dewayne Lee, Jr. was lovingly received into the arms of the Lord on Thursday, March 20, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida, where he lived and worked in marine construction. We thank God for the 35 wonderful years we were blessed to share with him.
Born on May 24, 1989, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Michael and Shirley Lee, he was affectionately known as "Lil Mike." He began his early education in Memphis before the family moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he graduated from Central Dauphin High School in 2007. He later attended college with dreams of becoming an architect. He accepted Christ at an early age and enjoyed reading the Bible and studying for understanding.
Lil Mike will always be remembered for his radiant smile, contagious laugh, and unmatched sense of humor. He had a magnetic personality that lit up every room, and to know him was truly to love him.
He was passionate about life and embraced every moment. Whether playing football, tennis, or basketball, his competitive spirit shone bright. He loved to dance, play video games, and had a deep love for good food-especially when he was behind the grill. His BBQ skills were second to none, and family and friends always looked forward to his cookouts.
He adored his family, cherished every moment spent together, and found joy in traveling and creating lasting memories. Lil Mike lived life fully, laughed freely, and loved deeply.
He leaves to cherish his memory, parents, Michael and Shirley Lee; siblings, Myla S. Lee, Quaila M. Lee, and Freddie J. Lee; his niece, Qimora M. Teele; his nephews, Myla S. Lee, Jr. and Lyel J. Lee; his loving extended family; and countless friends whose lives he touched with joy, humor, and love. His joins his grandparents, Freddie Lee, Sr. and Alberta Lee; uncle, Freddie Lee, Jr.; aunt, Kizzie Dumas; and cousin, Karldwin Boice.
Though his time with us was brief, his impact will live on in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, Lil Mike-you will always be loved, and you will never be forgotten.

Heaven shall be his newest of homes and he´ll greet all when we reach there. I meet the Lee´s when Lil Mike was 7 yrs of age. Amazing bonds we´ve built. I love U all from earth & beyond. Death ends a life not a relationship. All the love created is still here. All our memories are still here. You´ll live on we shall carry (U) in our hearts. You´ve gone onto the place we strive to get too. Your loved you´ll never be forgotten. So until we meet again.

Gosh time flies. Seem like yesterday when my brothers and I were kicking it with the Lee children. From Lil Mike to Freddie. Then touch and go as we reach high school then loose touch as adults unfortunately. Honestly I feel like we are always in the loop because of our mothers keeping in touch. Even without always communicating or seeing one another we love y´all and we are always wishing the family nothing but the best from afar! Praying yall through this heavy lost.
