Ronnie Daryl Lee, age 79, passed away peacefully at his home on August 7, 2025, surrounded by his loving wife, daughter, and beloved pets Maggie, Fonzy, and Bridget.

Ronnie grew up in Talpa, Texas. He proudly served in the Marine Corps Reserve for six years. A dedicated entrepreneur, Ronnie owned and operated Lee Residential Services and Lee Waterfront Sales in the Highland Lakes area for over 30 years, earning the respect of both clients and colleagues.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 60 years, Teresa Lee, and his daughter Brooke Dempsey. He was a proud grandfather to Jordanna Garcia and her husband John, Jake Lee and his mother Emelia Dziadon, who was like a daughter to him, Gavin Dempsey, and Keira Dempsey. Ronnie also leaves behind a cherished greatgranddaughter, Jubilee Garcia. He is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Janice Brown and husband Lynn, Peggy Hammond and husband Woody, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who adored him.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, Doyle and Jennie Lee, his brother Johnny Lee, and his beloved son Chad Lee.

A devoted family man and friend, Ronnie was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was a husband who could still make his wife laugh after six decades of marriage, a father who would do anything for his children, and a grandfather admired for his wisdom, humor, and warmth. His sharp wit and infectious laughter brought joy to those around him.

Ronnie’s life was a testament to unwavering love, strength, and commitment. His passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. His memory will forever be a blessing, and his light will continue to shine in the lives he touched.

He will never be forgotten.

A celebration of life for Ronnie will be planned in early spring 2026 in Lakeland Hills Cemetery.
