Ira Lee is survived by his son Billy Wall and Diane Jay, grandson Ira Hunter Wall and granddaughter Katy Adams. Also surviving are numerous nieces, nephews, other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Patsy Jonel (Watson) Wall, daughter Patricia “Patty” Wall, and brothers Norwood Wall, August “Dick” Wall, Henry Thomas “HT” Wall and sisters Gertie Fasel, Minnie Jane Warren and Frances Fincke.
Ira Lee was a long-time farmer and rancher. He was a past president of the Burnet County Fair and Rodeo Association and the Oatmeal Community Board. Ira Lee spent multiple years sitting on the Soil and Conservation Board. He served in the U.S. Army and for many years worked alongside his wife at her flower shop in Bertram.
He loved to fish and hunt with both family and friends. He had a love for family, friends, animals, and the land, but most of all The Lord above. He walked in big shoes and they will be hard to fill. Most people knew him for his firm handshake, just short of breaking your hand. As all of us know, he and his handshake will not be forgotten.
A visitation for friends and family will be held Friday, February 22 from 6-8pm at the Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet with graveside services following at 10am Saturday at the Oatmeal Cemetery.
Those named as pallbearers are Basil Lyn Parks, John Clemons, Darrell Brizendine, Andy Lyda, Chris Krueger, and Rick Allen. Those named as honorary pallbearers are John Crutchfield, Tommy Warren, Donald Fawcett, Bill Smith, and Darrell Debo.
Arrangements are entrusted to Clements-Wilcox Funeral Home in Burnet.
