Jonathan Lee, 29, of Fairfield left this life yesterday, July 28, 2013, at the Siteman Cancer Center, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri, ending a 19-month battle with cancer.
Jonathan Steven Lee was born June 27, 1984, in Evansville, Indiana, to Steven and Linda York Lee.
His education included Fairfield Grade School, Fairfield Community High School, Frontier Community College, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he finished a bachelor's degree in Administration of Justice, leading to his employment with Lutheran Child and Family Services in Mt. Vernon's Southern Thirty Adolescent Center for the last 5 and a half years.
He was a member of the Freemasons as a chaplain with a third degree, the Ainad Shriners, and the Fairfield Auxiliary Police. A member of the First Christian Church, Jonathan had a strong faith, which he lived, and a ready grasp of the scriptures.
He loved sports, especially the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bulls. Also, deer hunting was a highlight of his life. Jonathan lived to unselfishly serve others on all levels: professional, social, and family.
He is survived by his parents and his brother Brandon and fiancée Kari Legg; his grandparents Walter and Bernadine Keyser and Nina York; uncles and aunts Bill and Carole Ann Musgrave and Fred and Brenda White; and cousins Jerrod Wood and Jenna Lovitt and Haylie Fisher and Barkley White.
His visitation, at Johnson-Vaughn Funeral Home, Tuesday, from 5 to 8 p.m., with a Masonic Service at 8.
Funeral Services will be Wednesday at 1 p.m. at First Christian Church, with Brother Carroll Kakac and Reverend Charlie McDonald officiating.
Memorials may be made to the local Freemasons for their charitable work or to the benevolent Fund of First Christian Church of Fairfield.
