He was known for his jokes and stories of a much-loved cowboy life. He was also known as the "Old Cowboy" and the man who walked around the Brookhurst subdivision using 2 canes, who always had a smile and a wave for everyone he saw.

Lee is survived by his 3 daughters, Mary Beth Holzwarth & her husband Cody, Brenna Closson, and Cati Closson, 5 grandsons & 1 granddaughter, his mother Norma Jenkins Closson, his sisters Vicky Closson, Trudy Cervantes, and Colleen Cornell & her husband Brett, and their families.
