Buckwheat, as all knew him, was born the son of the late Morris Edwin Lee and the late Essie Mae Hooper Lee on July 4, 1957.

He loved to fish, garden, four wheeling and always loved being outside. He was a kind and caring person, who always put others before his self. He loved people, and always was happiest when surrounded by his friends and family. He never failed to have a smile and warm hug for those he loved.
