Lee E. Henry Obituary (Age 52) It is with great sadness and joy that we announce the passing of Lee Eugene Henry, 52, at his home in Spokane WA. Lee was called Home on January 16th after a 5-year battle with cancer. He was surrounded by abounding love and peace as he opened his eyes one last time to look at his wife before he passed. In the last few weeks of Lees life, he was visited by many loved ones and created many cherished memories. Born in Superior, WI, he lived there with his mother and two brothers until he was 11, when he moved to Cheney, WA. At Cheney High School, Lee played football, baseball and won many awards in FFA.

In 2015, Lee was selected for the rank of Chief Master Sargent and was honorarily promoted to that rank in November 2017. For the last decade of Lees life, he worked as a DoD contractor serving in Afghanistan and the U.S. Lee was a natural leader, with many talents and gifts. He was passionate about his family, friends, military brothers and sisters, and traveling the world. He loved sharing and teaching whatever he learned with others.
