Lee Lagerquist

Lee Lagerquist 4/28/1946 ~ 5/19/2008 God lit the wick of his loudest cannon on April 28, 1946, and just as he suspected, it burned BRIGHTLY until shooting off on May 19, 2008. As an infant, Dad was lovingly embraced as one of their own by George and Margaret Lagerquist. He grew up with older sister Bette and younger brother Jon. He married young and had two daughters, Kim and Melissa. After divorcing, he met the love of his life, Linda, to whom he's been married for 30 years and proved that death really was the ONLY thing to part their ways. They had two daughters, Holli and Kelli. Several years ago, Dad found his birth mother Joy, who not only welcomed him with open arms but also gave him two brothers and extended family as well. Joy passed away in Feb. 2008 to join George and Margaret and several of Dad's friends, in preparing Heaven for their son. Left to live his legacy and miss his tenderhearted personality and vibrant sense of humor: one true love, Linda; daughters Kim (Jeff), Melissa, Holli (Erik), Kelli; brothers Jon (Jennifer), Jim (Ina), Ron (Bonnie); sister Bette (Marlin); 7 grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, special grand- dog Smokey, and the greatest friends anyone could ask for. The family wishes to thank Hospice, Hospice House and Family First for their devotion to Dad's comfort. A celebration of life will be held at Tacoma Yacht Club on May 28, 2008 at 6pm.
