Larry James Lee, 80, of Bella Vista, Arkansas passed away on Monday, June 16, 2025, at Mercy Hospital in Rogers, Arkansas, surrounded by family. He was born on November 5, 1944, to Jesse and Mildred Lee in Bassett, Nebraska. He was one of nine children (eight boys and one sister) raised in Springview, and the brothers were proudly known as "The Lee Boys."

Larry's career started in Bridgeport, Nebraska as an Engineer Assistant, building highways and bridges. He moved on to Fort Collins, Colorado and worked for Eastman Kodak Company in Windsor, Colorado, as their Site Engineer. He  retired from Kodak and moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas to enjoy his love of golf and spent several years working at the Metfield Golf Course. He was an athlete in his school years excelling in all sports and an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan. Above all, his love for his family ran deep and was always with him.

Larry will be sadly missed by family and friends and everyone who knew and loved him and will remain in our hearts forever.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jesse and Mildred Lee; brothers, Morris Lee, Lawrence Lee, Ronald Lee; sister, Dorothy Owens; and grandson Coleman Marshall Boutte.

Larry is survived by his wife, Linda Lee of 21 years; his three children, Jim (Roxanne) Johnson, Victoria (Kevin) Lee, Brett (Stacy) Lee; six grandchildren, Ashley (Jake) Knaub, Brittani Johnson, Kennedy (Calvin) Bisby, Lucien Lee, Quinn Lee, and Edison J. Lee; two great grandchildren; brothers, Harley (Darlene) Lee, Roger (Nancy) Lee, Jerry Lee, Robert Lee; and several nieces and nephews.

He is lovingly remembered by his extended family, Cristin (Mike) Dolon, Robert (Jenn) Munn; five grandchildren, Michelle (Cole) Leverton, Casey Croteau, Codie Dolon, Dustin (Paris) Munn, Dylan (Liliana) Munn; and seven great grandchildren.
