Edward Lee Barksdale, Jr. affectionately known to some as Lee, transitioned to be with the Lord at the young age of 71 on September 20, 2023, at home with his wife by his side. Born on September 7, 1952, in Danville, VA to the late Edward Lee, Sr and Essie Barksdale, Lee was the only son of seven children. He was a devoted, loyal and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, father-in-law and friend. He leaves to cherish fond memories, his wife Sharon, two sons and three daughters, nine grandchildren, two sisters and a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends. Our hearts are hurting; nevertheless, we know our God makes no mistake. We miss you Lee, beyond measure, but we know that you are no longer suffering now that you are in the care of our Lord Jesus Christ.
