Our friend Lee is gone but not forgotten! So Grateful  for Facebook Memories  that pop up! 


From: Arlene & Friends 😊

I remember Lee well from our time at church, Gideon's meeting and sharing with prisoners as part of Yokefellows. He was a quiet gentleman, who was quick to smile.  You knew he loved Jesus and that love overcame his quietness.  He will be missed. I look forward to seeing him again with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He was a very special man, and loved by many.  Mr. Lee would always have a smile on his face when I saw him at Pitt Community College or anywhere.  He would speak and always gave me a hug and introduced me to anyone he was with.  When he retired and we saw one another, he would talk about his fishing, church, and grandchildren.  May heaven smile upon his family as he is welcomed to the peaceful home made of gold where there is no more sorrow, no more pain just peace and rest .

I will keep you all in my prayers.

On behalf of the Nursing Department at Pitt Community College, I extend deepest sympathy and condolences to you. 
Mr. Lee was a kind and friendly man. The nursing faculty always looked forward to his daily walks through our department so we could see his brilliant smile and hear his cheerful hello. 

We will cherish our memories of him as I know you will also. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts. 

Stay Encouraged,
Tavondia Burdett
Program Director

Please know that the entire family will remain in our thoughts and prayers for the coming days.  Mr. Bowen was a wonderful person who I've known for many years.  Wow, what a marvelous legacy he leaves behind, and in so doing, Mr. Lee will be remembered in our hearts and minds far into the future.

I met Lee through my husband, Philip. He always said that Lee was his best friend.  Lee was the best man at our wedding, and we stayed friends. Lee always has a smile on his face. We would go out to eat and play cards with him. He was so proud of his grandchildren.  He will be missed.

My prayers are with his family. 

Lee is one of my best Christ-Centerred Brothers and Friend. When he moved to New Bern I met him at our Gideon meeting he immediately joined--a Gideon for many years!! I invited him to our Tabernacle Baptist Church in which he immediately was immersed in many mission outreach ministries!! I and others could rely on Lee to help--he was always there and filled the gap where others didn't. Lee was steady and could be counted on. He was active in our Tuesday and Thursday Bible Studies and as a Air Force Veteran he could remind me of their tremendous value to our nation. I love Lee as a brother.  He loved his son Roland and his family especially the grandchildren and whenever he was not present Roland had him at his house or he was on a trip with Roland and family. Roland and family are special and really took the best care of Lee!!! I would see Lee working our Unity mission meal before and food give-away later with Emily his granddaughter. I would see him at basketball games watching her and my granddaughter Kate play basketball. He is a loving God-Ceterred man who left an unmatched legacy serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!  

Worked with Lee at Pitt Community College. He was a gentle and kind person. Unfortunately we lost touch after our retirements. I can honestly say I only have positive memories of my working relationship with him.  Lee set a positive example for people to emulate.


My condolences  to Rowland and the family. Lee was a good friend from high school days  and onward. We rode  a lot of miles together with never a dull moment. He was always kind and thoughtful to everyone. He will be missed. RIP  my friend.

Lee was my neighbor, living on Reedy Branch Road in Winterville. He was such a nice person. My condolences to all the family. He will be missed. 

I send my deepest sympathy to Lee's son and his family.   Lee and I have been friends since we were young.  He was a very nice man. Prayers for you all and may God bless each of you. 

Loved working with this Godly, soft spoken man in the Unity ministry. He will be missed.

Lee was a dear friend from Winterville for many  years. He use to come an sit with the boys at Hines Repair an loved talking an telling stories.  Gone to soon but to a better place. May you Rest In Peace in the hands of the lord. God bless his family.  In Christ 

Having known Lee for many, many years and working with him at Pitt Community College, he was a dear friend.  We have shared many wonderful times talking and
laughing together through the years.  I will cherish those memories in my heart.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Roland and family; his brothers and extended family.  Rest In Peace my special friend until we meet again.

We were blessed to have Lee in our small circle of friends who had dessert and played SkipBo in Wednesday nights after church! The grin on his face let us know he was enjoying himself! We had lots of fun dancing eith him at the County Opry! He beamed out on the dance floor! He was involved in many ministries at our church. Lee had a sweet and friendly spirit! We are going to miss our friend but know that he is with the God he served! Prayers for his family!
