Joseph Benjamin Lee

Joseph Benjamin Lee, Sr. (Benny), 74 years old, of Lake Butler, Florida went to be with Jesus on Saturday, March 24th. Benny was born in Waycross, Georgia on August 30, 1943.
Benny was married to his high school sweetheart, Gail Lennon for 56 years. They have four children, Joseph Jr. (Barbara), Ted (Jeanie), Mark, Lisa (Randy). Eight grandchildren; Megan, David(Miranda), Melody (Jesse), Kathryn (John), Eric (CeCe), Alee (Tyler), Erica, Miranda (Jordan). Six amazing great-grandchildren; Gracie, Easton, Charlee, Roman, Trenton, and Parker whom he loved dearly.
Benny has five sisters; Patricia (Walter), Carolyn, Linda, Charlene (Al)and Donna. Many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his mother, Melba, his dad Burnis, and brother Randy.
Benny's life was largely spent in dedication to his family. He was devoted in unconditional love to each of them. He will be profoundly missed by his family and friends. Benny worked with lumber yards building trusses and leading up to retirement he painted houses. His pastime was nascar racing. Cancer won the battle with his body, but Gory to God, not his soul.
Benny was a "gentle giant". The best PaPa, daddy, and husband. Never complained and loved to help anyone in need. May his soul rejoice in the eternal peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
