On early Sunday, November 22, 2020, Mr. David Anthony Lee, recognizing that his work on earth was at an end, slept peacefully into the arms of his Heavenly Father. David graduated from Laurens District 55 High School, with the class of 1972, and furthered his education at Allen University. After moving to Columbia to be near his sister, Barbara, or “BJ” as only he called her, David would often sing in the popular club, The Fountain Bleu, with sequence members, Cheryl the Pearl, Blonde, and Angie B. Angie B., later went on to become a well-known R&B artist. David also worked at the South Carolina department of Mental Health, alongside his brother-in-aw, Wayne. The stories they shared were uniquely entertaining. David enjoyed sports and the numerous conversations he had with is sister, Pat about playing golf. A loyal fan of the Atlanta Braves, Miami Dolphins, and Clemson Tigers, David would often call his sisters and insist on updates on scores if neither game were available on the TV or radio. Though a stroke limited his mobility, it never dampened his social life or his determination. David’s house became the social center and home base for the family. If you wanted to know the whereabouts of any family member, a quick call to David and they were surely located. Everyone checked in with David. David was always kindhearted and most of all loyal to his sisters. No matter the obstacle, David would move heaven and earth for his sisters Barbara “BJ” and Carolyn “Cat”. That devotion was repaid in spades from his fierce yet darling sisters' tireless and selfless love shown to him. David will be remembered for many things: his roaring laugh, the comfort with which he felt interrupting Barbara's business meeting to request a root beer, insisting that Carolyn bring him just the right loaf of bread, cheating at poker against his nieces and nephews, and the inside jokes and respect he held for his brother-in-law, Wayne. But most of all, David was a constant for our family. He was someone we could all rely on and we all cared for deeply. And though his earthly journey is complete, his love remains a constant, forever in our hearts and our lives. David was preceded in death by three brothers Michael, Bennie, and Willie Crisp; two sisters, Patricia C. Norman and Gail Coleman; two step-brothers, Douglas and Andrew Crisp. Among those who will truly miss Mr. David Anthony Lee’s steadfast presence are: his father Mr. Eugene Coleman of Laurens SC, two daughters Audrey D Lee and Whitney Lee of Columbia SC, one step-son Paris Lee also of Columbia, sisters Barbara L Ligon of Columbia SC, Pamela C Williams of Simpsonville SC, Cynthia Coleman, of Laurens SC, Carolyn (Wayne) Prophett of Ridgeway SC, one step sister Patricia (Shelton) Milner of Fayetteville GA, and a special sister Felicia (Arthur) Workman of Laurens, SC. In addition, he leaves his longtime loyal friend Dennis Haile of Columbia SC, three aunts, four uncles, twelve grandchildren, several nieces, nephews and many loving relatives and caring friends who will miss him dearly. Please leave the Lee family your condolences and prayers. The Lee family, acknowledges with grateful appreciation, all of your kind expressions of love and sympathy.
