DAVID MICHAEL LEE

August 18, 1964 - April 13, 2023

Dave passed away suddenly on Thursday, April 13, 2023 after a brief but intense battle with an aggressive infection. David is survived by his loving wife Nicole, stepsons Dalton and Jorden, and grandchildren Willow, Maci, and Silas. He is also survived by his parents, Beth and Craig Lee, sister Nancy Cooke, brother-in-law Bill, niece Hunter and nephew Austin (Rianne Still), parents-in-law Ken and Maizie Noto and many extended family members. David was predeceased by his son Michael Lee in 2022.

Dave leaves behind a legacy of selflessness and helping others. His primary purpose for most of his adult life was to care for and enrich the lives of those he knew. He spent most of his time looking after Michael, who was born with many special needs. Dave supported Mike's activities and involvement with the Special Olympics. Dave met many people through Mike's various activities and was happy to help however he could. Dave was blessed to have his wife Nicole share his life with him. Dave was a source of support and assistance to all his family members, especially helping his parents, Craig and Beth, with their recent move. David had a quick smile and kind words for everyone, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

When he wasn’t helping friends and family, he could be found at the trailer in Onanole. One of David's favourite pastimes was spending time at the lake with his family. Sitting by the campfire and enjoying the outdoors was the way he relaxed.

David was a hard worker who spent 30 years at Assiniboine Community College in the building services department and over 10 years with the Brandon School Division. He had been looking forward to retirement in a few years, planning to spend more time at the lake and travel.

The Celebration of Dave's Life will take place at Riverview Curling Club, 420 Maryland Avenue, Brandon on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of David may be made to Special Olympics Westman, PO Box 20149, Brandon, MB R7A 6Y8.
