Sam Henry Lee was born December 31, 1924, in Houston, Texas, to Sam Henry Lee Sr. and Edna Isabell Laughlin-Lee. He passed away peacefully January 10, 2022, at home, in Willis, Texas, at the age of 97.

Sam was part of the Greatest Generation, a veteran of World War II who enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17. He served as a radio operator flying in blimps patrolling against enemy submarines.

Sam was the true and authentic cowboy to all who knew him. Cowboy boots and hats were what he wore every day. He loved and trained horses and rode into his 80's. He shared his love and wisdom for the cowboy way of life with his children and grandchildren or anyone who showed an interest. He was a loving husband, devoted father and true hero to his family and all who knew him.

A special thanks to the wonderful caregivers Judi, Inga, Mary Ann, Teresa, and Shelly who provided loving comfort tirelessly and to the Hospice nurses Gina,Tracy,Amy and Sandy for their care.
