Scott Lee

Scott Allen Lee, born March 13,1958 in Dallas, TX passed peacefully with his wife and sons beside him, Tuesday, April 21, 2026, following a valiant battle with Interstitial Lung Disease. He was a beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend, deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is the son of Gene Lee and Arden (Lee) Barrett, and stepson of Dr. Paul A. Barrett.

Scott was preceded in death by paternal grandparents Sarah Upchurch Lee & Fred Lee; maternal grandparents, M.J. and Theressa Cuadra and step-sister Tara Barrett Petroll.

Scott married the love of his life, Louise Walker Lee, July 4, 1987, at a fairytale ceremony in Chesterfield, England. Scott and Louise celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary in 2025. Together they raised two sons in Jones, OK. John Patrick Lee, now of Salt Lake City, UT and Nathan Myles Lee, of Denver, CO.

The Scott Lee family enjoyed decades of transatlantic visits and treks exploring the world with his father and mother-in-law, John and Sybil Walker, of Chesterfield, England. From the pyramids in Egypt to the ruins of Pompeii.

Scott and Louise worked hard to provide their boys an idyllic country setting replete with horses, many loving dogs, bountiful gardens, and room to kick balls and run—athletic talents Scott mutually shared with his soccer, football and track standout sons, Patrick and Nathan.

Raised in Oklahoma City, Scott attended Putnam City Schools K-11, and graduated from Sausalito High School in CA. Following service in the U.S. Army, he parlayed his interests in engineering, music, and electronics into a life-long career with PAiA eventually becoming owner of the Paia Corporation.

Scott shared his wife’s dedication to Educational Television’s mission in both the Oklahoma City and Kansas City, MO markets, serving as a volunteer for over 30 years. Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and The Regional Food Bank are among the local outreach organizations he shared his gifts and talents with, as well as The Oklahoma Humane Society.
