He knew what was hurting your heart without saying anything he would come up and light up your soul with his goodness. His laugh was incredible.

  5. Lee was pure love and positive energy. I met Lee in 2005 while he was still working property management before he transitioned into his makeup career. I’m forever grateful for all the advice and mentoring he has given me throughout our friendship and my makeup career. Lee is the reason why I started my makeup career professionally, he motivated and pushed me to pursue it. At times, I find myself speechless, there’s not enough I can say about him to express how much of an amazing person Lee was. He poured his love and passion into his family, career and friends. Lee always expressed his love for his mother, tia and siblings when we chatted about family. Lee always lit the room up with his laugh and spirit. He inspired those around him to be better and do better. I will forever be grateful for him and his friendship.

    My prayers and condolences to his mother, tia, siblings, his family and friends.

  6. I feel like this is not real! Lee was such an incredible person to so many, including myself. I met Lee when he first joined the MAC family. He was always the center of attention and life of the party. A good time was had whenever he was present. His smile was so radiant and his laugh was infectious that you automatically started laughing whenever he laughed. He was such a nurturing and positive human being. He always had something encouraging & uplifting to say to everyone. I\’ve never known anyone to have such a profound effect on everyone. Lee always made sure you knew how much he loved you & cared about you. I made sure he knew how much he meant to me as well. I feel so very blessed to call him my friend. To Lee\’s Mom, family, and friends, I know that his BIG presence will be greatly missed. Hang on to the love in your heart for him, and the many memories made with him especially when the hurt becomes overwhelming. You all have my condolences and I will keep you lifted in my prayers.
