Michael David Lee, 40, of Downers Grove, formerly of Hinsdale, passed away unexpectedly June 26, 2023.
He was a true enthusiast of sports and music. He rarely missed a pitch, a down, or a basket of his beloved Cubs, Bears and Bulls, but his true love was the Iowa Hawkeyes. He loved spending time in his neatly cleaned house and listening to music on his back patio. He enjoyed quoting Johnny Cash and attending concerts at Wrigley and Soldier Field with friends and family. He had a deep love for his dogs, mom and dad, and siblings, but nothing made Michael laugh and smile more than hanging with his nephews and niece, Billy, Brooks, Brecken, CJ, Carter and Evelyn.
Michael was kindhearted, hardworking and generous. He was a loyal friend, the best uncle, most loving older brother and a compassionate son. He had a lot of love to share. He will be deeply missed but even more deeply celebrated.
He is survived by his parents, David and Sherri Lee of Hinsdale; his siblings, Katie (Bill) Jaqua, Christopher (Melanie) Lee and Ryan (fiancé Tee Pidgeon); his nieces and nephews, Billy, Brooks, Brecken and Evelyn Jaqua and CJ and Carter Lee; his grandfather, William; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Rosemarie Lee and Richard and Lila Oloffson.
A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 8, at Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S. Garfield Ave.
Interment is private.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made online to the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation at http://www.arizzofoundation.com.
