On Friday, October 8, 2021, the Lord saw fit to add another tree to His forest, our beloved father, grandfather, son, brother, and uncle, Elton Sherward Lee. He was born on November 17, 1970, the son of Lavonia M. and John Archie Lee Sr.
At an early age, he confessed Christ as his Personal Savior and joined Chickahominy Baptist Church. He attended Lafayette High School and was formerly employed with the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Elton loved detailing cars, dancing, and fishing. He was also an avid New England Patriots fan.

Lee Sr.; sons, Jawahn Lee, Brandon Lee, Xavier Lee, and Elysiah Lee; daughters, Maria Moore, Niyahiah “Nee Nee” Lee, and Shantell Ruttley; sister, Sharon Braxton (Joseph); brother, Kevin Lee; devoted sister-in-law, Ruby Lee; a grandchild; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, other loving relatives, and friends.
