Byron Lee

January 21, 1957 - May 18, 2020

Byron Lee, fondly known to his family and friends as "Barracuda", was born January 21, 1957 to the loving arms of the late Sallie Lou Lee in Tampa, FL. Growing up in St. Petersburg he attended the local Pinellas County schools including North East High School and later obtained his GED. Once upon a time Byron worked for the City of St. Petersburg, yet he is best known for his work as a handyman. He was a "jack of all trades" and over the years his family and friends learned that they could depend on him for any job or project they needed done; painting, carpentry, lawn work, etc; you name it, he could do it. Byron always said that "his word was his bond" and he did all that he could to live up to that. Byron was also very charismatic; others enjoyed being around him. He was funny, sweet and nothing gave him greater pleasure than spending time with his grandchildren. On May 18, 2020, the Lord called Byron "Barracuda" Lee to eternal rest. He leaves to cherish his memories: - Children: Lisa Jones, Marqual Lee, Audria Lee, Courtney Lee and LaShawnda Lee; - Grandchildren: Ayana Brown, Marquavia Lee, Ja'Nice Lee, Sanaa Lee-Bowman, Laila Edwards, London Garcia, Mehki Reynolds, Kevon Musgrove and Joshua Wyatt, Jr.; - Brother: Tommie Lee, Jr. (Beatrice); and - Sisters: Phyllis Smith (Rev. Zollie Smith, husband) and Josephine Lee (Mr. Caren C. Adams, life partner). He also leaves a host of other loving relatives and friends.
