March 7, 1966 – December 20, 2018
Lee Anthony Marconi, of Lantana, TX, formerly of Mountaintop, entered into eternal rest on December 20, 2018 at age 52. He fought and won a courageous battle against leukemia but his weakened body could no longer encompass the grandeur of his loving spirit.
“God doesn't break things so He can fix them; He fixes broken things so He can use them.” – Bob Goff
Lee is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 27 years, Colleen (Cooper), daughters, Kera Marconi and Christal Wright and son, Michael Marconi. He is also survived by his parents, Leo and Mary Jean Marconi, Mountaintop and sister, Maria Lassiter and husband William Lassiter. Also cherishing his memory will be 5 grandchildren, 2 nieces and his nephew, other family members and numerous colleagues from the Boy Scouts of America, BSA.
A graduate of Susquehanna University, Lee turned his lifelong love of scouting and public service into a successful executive career with the Boy Scouts of America. He received numerous awards and recognition over his 29 year career, first with the Monmouth Council in New Jersey and later in Irving, Texas where he served as the Team Leader for Membership Growth and Development.
An avid outdoorsman, Lee’s proudest accomplishments include completing several half-marathons, the New Jersey and New York City Marathons, and graduating from the FBI’s Citizen Academy in Newark, NJ which affords select community leaders an inside look at the FBI. Lee enjoyed playing the guitar and driving motorcycles. But his greatest accomplishment was his family, whom he loved unconditionally.
A memorial service will be held 11:00am, Saturday January 5, 2019 at Foust and Son Funeral Home, Grapevine, TX. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Boy Scouts of America, www.scouting.org or the Lakota Wolf Preserve, www.lakotawolf.com/donate-now.
