Donald George Lee

Donald George Lee, 77, passed away peacefully in his home under hospice care from complications related to kidney failure on September 24, 2026, in Tigard, Oregon. He was born on October 12, 1948, to George and Diana Lee in Portland, Oregon and grew up with 4 siblings, a love for sports, and devotion to God.

Donald graduated from Cleveland High School. He served his country in the Vietnam War. After returning home from the war, he married his wife May of 54 years, and finished college at Portland State University.

Don worked for the IRS and retired in 2009 after 35 years. When Don wasn’t working he was out playing tennis, softball, bowling, and pickleball. He enjoyed playing board and party games with friends and family. Don will always be remembered as the supportive parent at his children’s games and recitals, even when yelling to “run faster…hit the ball harder…go, go go!” He served faithfully as a church elder, Sunday School teacher, and was a member of various committees.

Deanna, his beloved daughter-in-law, preceded him in death on September 15, 2026. He is survived by his wife May, son Brian and Leah Lee and granddaughter Remi Burch, son Brandon and grandchildren Tyger, Kyrie, Meryk, and Zhavya, and son Aaron and Marisa Lee and grandchildren Kenzo and Taya, as well as siblings Gloria Lee Grove, Arnold Lee, Reynold Lee, and Harold Lee.

Don was laid to rest with military honors at Willamette National Cemetery on October 5, 2026. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to BSF (Bible Study Fellowship). www.bsfinternational.org.
