Wesley Raymond Lee

WESLEY RAYMOND LEE Wesley “Cool Guy” Raymond Lee, 52, of Bartlesville, died July 10, 2011, after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Wes was born September 15, 1958, in Norman, Oklahoma, to Robert and Claudia Lee. He grew up in Norman, Oklahoma and graduated from Norman High School. He continued his education at Rose State College. He served in the United States Navy from 1988 until 1992. After many years in Norman, OK, he moved to Bartlesville where he worked for many years at REDA, followed by employment at Amazon.com located in Coffeyville, Kansas until the onset of his illness in 2009. Wesley was an incredible father who had an insatiable love of life and a contagious sense of humor. While his life was full of incredible stories of international travels and hours spent perfecting muscle cars, he also faced many hardships, handling them all with humor and some time at the golf course. During the last year of his life, his playful and witty outlook toward life allowed him to focus on flirting with nurses and joking with medical personnel, often to the dismay of his daughter, who was constantly trying to be taken seriously. He will be fondly remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and dedication to his friends and family; also for his famous barbeque chicken with mint iced tea. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Megan (Lee) and Kyle Kempf of Bartlesville; mother, Claudia Lee of Texas; sister and brothers, Carole Mullins, Mike Mullins, Bill Lee, all of Texas, and Bob Lee of Norman, Oklahoma. He is also survived by his incredible friends Paul and Michele Sutter, and Monte and DeeDee Magner. Wes was adamant that people use the occasion of his passing to remember and celebrate his life and to tell the stories that he will no longer be able to share. In accordance with his wishes, a private memorial gathering will be held to honor both his life and the lives of those who have supported him. Instead of sending flowers, those who wish to make a contribution in memory may do so to: Comforting Hands Hospice 2450 SE Washington Blvd. Suite A Bartlesville, OK. 74006 Cremation services provided by Stumpff Funeral Home and Crematory.
