Reuben Walter Lee passed away on March 3, 2007 at 12:03 A.M. in the presence of his family at Tweeten Healthcare in Spring Grove, Minnesota. Reuben Walter Lee was born one of 10 brothers and sisters to John and Sena ( Morken) Lee, on May 29, 1916 in Detroit Lakes, MN. He attended country school and graduated eighth grade.

Children born to this union were baby Lee (deceased 1956), Donna Rae (Hugh) England, and Paul Mark (Colleen) Lee. Reuben's dreams of becoming a grandfather were realized when Paul and Colleen had four boys: Jonathan, Caleb, Aaron, and Isaiah. Reuben was an avid wood crafter. He enjoyed fishing and loved to watch his grandsons in any sport they were competing in. Reuben and Lenore were members of the Assembly of God Church in Fergus Falls, MN where he served as a Deacon for many years. Reuben's ministry was one of quiet example, and steadfast faith.
