Gerald Ernest Lee

Gerald (Jerry) Lee entered into the arms of Jesus on October 8, 2018.

Born May 20, 1940, in Bandon, OR, Jerry was the youngest of five children of Hiram and Florence Lee.

From 1957 to 1961 Jerry served faithfully in the U.S. Navy, stationed in Morocco and stateside.

After a lengthy career, Jerry retired from the Coos County Assessor’s Office, but continued his pursuit to capture ‘A Good Image.’ South Coast residents will recall his photos from the many weddings, senior class pictures, and myriad of other specialized portraiture, often taken at his rustic residence northeast of Bandon.

He loved his ranch and horses, chasing outdoor adventures, but mostly his classic cars; he enjoyed Cruise the Coos and Graffiti Weekend.

Jerry is survived by his wife Debi; sister Virginia Weaver, brothers Robert and Kenneth and their wives Wanda and Betty; step-daughters Amber Nance and daughters Jasmine and Aliyah, Lisa and Chris Fisher and children Caden, Lincoln, Ezra, and Halle, and Chelsea and Aaron Freitag and children Braydon, Caleb, and Rylee; daughter Rae and Danny Aldrich and children Erin and Corey, and son Christian West.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Marge Williams.
