Special Info
Lee aka (Andy, Manager & Bull), a dedicated, hard working family man, husband, and fearless leader in the construction industry, passed away on 12/30/23.
He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, perseverance, and boundless love for his family, close friends and colleagues; but more importantly, he devoted three decades
of his life to his passion; carpentry and interior design.
Born in La Digue, Grenada to mother Sylvia Persue, Lee grew up collectively with siblings, Allan, Irvin, Tony, Michael, Jeffery, Ricky, Sean & Gillian (Nikki) . Lee was a
man of integrity and resilience from the start. From an early age, he demonstrated a strong work ethic that would define his character throughout his 30-year career in the
construction business. Lee's commitment to excellence, paired with his tireless work ethic, made him a respected figure among family, friends & colleagues.
Throughout his career, Lee's hands shaped not just interior structures of steel, concrete, brick, and mortar, but also the lives of those who had the privilege of working
alongside him. His expertise and dedication left an indelible mark on the countless projects he undertook, in both the Big Apple, New York City & Grenada.
His legacy in the construction industry is a testament to the values he held dear – precision, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. He was truly an
artist at heart.
Beyond his professional achievements, Lee's true joy and purpose in life were found within the walls of his home. A devoted husband to his beloved wife, Patricia, and a
loving father to his children, Sherell, Turan & Tyrell, Lee's priority was always to provide and nurture. His sacrifices were numerous, his guidance steadfast, and his love
immeasurable.
Lee was more than a provider; he was a source of strength and support for his family and friends. His wisdom, boldness, and wittiness knew no bounds. He was a mentor
to many, always ready to share his knowledge and lend a helping hand.
In the community, Lee's impact extended beyond construction sites. His spirit of leadership was a true reflection of his values, which always left a lasting impression on all
who had the privilege of knowing him. Trusted confidantes discovered a friend who listened intently, a soul who valued meaningful connections over superficial
exchanges.
As we bring honor to Lee, let us remember him not only for the structures he built, but for the strong foundation of love, hard work, and commitment to his family & friends
that he leaves behind. May his soul rest in eternal peace & power. Ever living, ever faithful, ever sure, Rastafari! shall guide; and JAH, will protect & lead the way.
