Lee was an avid poet, lyricist artist and athlete. After his demise the family chose his favorite poem, which he recited in the eight grade:
The Next Place
The next place I go to will be as peaceful and familiar
as a sleepy summer Sunday and a sweet untrouble mind.
And yet...It won’t be like any place I’ve ever been or seen, or ever dreamed of, in the place I leave behind.
I won’t know where I’m going, and I won’t know where I’ve been.
I’ll glide beyond the rainbow; I’ll drift above the sky.
I’ll drift into the wonder without ever wondering why.
I won’t remember getting there, somehow I’ll just arrive.
But I know that I belong there, and will feel much more alive.
