Justin Lee Obituary

Lee - Justin, born on January 20, 1987, Justin was a truly extraordinary individual whose remarkable talents knew no bounds. He excelled as a hip hop musician under the artist name Lee Kid, and also possessed a deep passion for clothing design and underground street art, culminating in the resounding success of his brand, OkOk Globalâ„¢. Worn by locals and individuals worldwide, OkOkâ„¢ apparel has become a symbol of his creative genius. Justin's indomitable spirit extended beyond his artistic endeavors, as his renowned physical strength led him to become an exceptional boxing coach and trainer at Glen Cove's Howard Jr Davis gym. His athletic prowess shone brightly during his time at North Shore High School, where he fiercely led the basketball and baseball teams to countless victories. With great love for the beach, snowboarding, boxing, gardening, and music, Justin's zest for life was contagious. But it was his profound care for others that truly set him apart. He constantly looked after those in both his inner and outer circles, always ready to bring laughter and joy into their lives. Justin is survived by his loving parents Shannon and Wilson Lee, and his siblings Brianna and Julian Lee. Wake services will be held at Whitting Funeral Home on Wednesday, January 24 from 6-8pm, and Thursday, January 25 from 2-4pm and 6-8pm. The Funeral Mass will take place at St. Boniface Church in Sea Cliff on Friday, January 26 at 11am. All are welcome to attend and pay their respects.

Very tragic I knew Justin from working at nuclear with his dad. He was wonderful caring person. Very smart and kind to all. Tragic my deepest sympathies to Mr. Wilson and family.
