Lee was born and raised in Dinsmore, SK, until he left for university at the age of seventeen.

Lee was a kind, gentle spirit with a sly, dry sense of humour. He was affectionately known as a tease. He enjoyed many sports from an early age, especially golf and curling in his later years.
Lee always prioritized his love for family and friends.
