BEN ELVIN LEE

October 20, 1950 ~ May 21, 2025

Ben Elvin Lee, a vibrant soul and beloved family man, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2025, at the age of 74.

Born on October 20, 1950, Ben brought joy, rhythm, and love into every room he entered. A true fan of the funk, Ben could often be found singing and dancing to the grooves of his favorite bands, Parliament and Funkadelic. His energy was contagious, his spirit unforgettable.

Ben proudly served in the United States Marine Corps for three years, demonstrating courage, dedication, and honor. His service was a testament to his strength of character and commitment to others.

Ben was deeply devoted to his late wife, Gul Lee, the love of his life. They shared many beautiful years together until her passing in February 2004. Their bond remained a guiding light in his life.

Above all, Ben was a man full of life and laughter. He cherished time spent with his family, bringing warmth, wisdom, and joy to every gathering. Whether telling stories, dancing in the living room, or offering a listening ear, Ben was the heart of his family.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and remembered for his kindness, humor, and that unforgettable spark that made him who he was.

A celebration of Ben’s life will be held with family and friends to honor the joy he brought into the world.

Rest in peace, Ben. Keep dancing.
