Michael Lee Obituary

Southbury - Michael Christopher Lee, 63, of Southbury passed away on June 6, 2025 peacefully at home surrounded by family. He was born in Waterbury, CT on August 21, 1961 to Richard M. Lee and Carole (Taylor) Lee.
Michael spent his school years in Woodbury and later went on to work at Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics in Brookfield, CT for many years. A true jack-of-all-trades, he excelled in electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, never hesitating to tackle a challenge. Whether fixing, building, or improving something, he found joy in working with his hands and using his knowledge to help others. Most of all Michael enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
He is survived by his siblings, Richard D. Lee and his wife, Tracey of Port Kent, NY, Nancy M. Nagy and her husband, John of Southbury, Patricia D. Lee and her fiancé, Mark Lenard of Woodbury, Gerald R. Lee and his significant other, Linea Dewitt of Roxbury and Carol T. Lee of Woodbury; his nephews and niece, Richard E. Lee (Katie), Ryan Lee (Katrina), Robert Lee of New York, John-Michael Nagy (Elisabeth Svitlik) of Southbury and Kaitlin Nagy (Peter Lowen) of Rhode Island, and great nephews and nieces. He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins and beloved friends.

My condolences to the Lee family on the loss of your brother Chris (Michael). Some of my best memories were spent at your house, we were always working on something in the garage. Chris working on his T-Bird or Ford Fairlane on those hot summer days. Working at Arco, hanging at Duck Village, all the parties, picnics, first days of fishing, bowling and just talking and laughing, lots of laughing! Chris, you were always there in the middle of it and you will be missed by everyone who knew you.
