He is survived by the mother of his sons, Diana Lee of Mineral; sons, Jimmie Lee of Mineral and Robert Lee of Mineral; step-son, Richie Lamphier; the lady he has spent the last several years with Tammy Lucas, Princeton, IL; one brother, Robert E. (Barb) Lee, Jr of Milan, IL; four sisters: Bonnie (Donnie) Cowan of Decatur, AL, Karen Murray of Decatur, AL, Vicki (Gary) Maupin of Wyanet, IL, Rose (Walt) Nelson of Wyanet, IL; two step-sisters, Joyce (Jim) Dison of Kewanee, IL, and Linda (Terry) Kerner of Sheffield, IL; and cousins, nephews, and nieces.
He was preceded in death by his parents, step-mother, and three brothers.
Jimmie enjoyed visiting with his family and friends. He loved his sons and he and Tammy enjoyed their years together.
Growing up he enjoyed spending time with his father learning to work on vehicles- buying and selling, working for Lee Brothers Construction, and also working for Braves Enterprises in Annawan, IL. He sort of a jack of all trades.
He had been in bad health for years but he loved visits so he could cut up with you. The last couple years he became an Alabama football fan (Roll Tide). He would call his sister every week to see if they won. She said she really didn’t know if Jimmie even knew what a first down was. Jimmie will be missed enormously!
